High-Speed Object Recognition Based on a Neuromorphic System

Abstract

Neuromorphic systems are bio-inspired and have the potential to break through the bottleneck of existing intelligent systems. This paper proposes a neuromorphic high-speed object recognition method based on DVS and SpiNNaker and implements a system in which an OR logic aggregation algorithm is used to acquire sufficient effective information and the asynchronous sparse computing mechanism of SNNs is exploited to reduce the computation. The experiment’s results show that the object detection rate of the designed system is more than 99% at the rotating speed of 900~2300 rpm; its response time is within (Formula presented.) ; and it requires 96.3% less computation than traditional recognition systems using the same scaled ANN.
