Classify Images on FPGA Using Quantized Neural Network

This example shows how to use Deep Learning HDL Toolbox™ to deploy a quantized deep convolutional neural network (CNN) to an FPGA. In the example you use the pretrained ResNet-18 CNN to perform transfer learning and quantization. You then deploy the quantized network and use MATLAB ® to retrieve the prediction results.

ResNet-18 has been trained on over a million images and can classify images into 1000 object categories, such as keyboard, coffee mug, pencil, and many animals. The network has learned rich feature representations for a wide range of images. The network takes an image as input and outputs a label for the object in the image together with the probabilities for each of the object categories.

For this example, you need:

  • Deep Learning Toolbox™

  • Deep Learning HDL Toolbox™

  • Deep Learning Toolbox Model for ResNet-18 Network

  • Deep Learning HDL Toolbox™ Support Package for Xilinx® FPGA and SoC Devices

  • Image Processing Toolbox™

  • Deep Learning Toolbox Model Quantization Library

  • MATLAB® Coder™ Interface for Deep Learning

To perform classification on a new set of images, you fine-tune a pretrained ResNet-18 CNN by transfer learning. In transfer learning, you can take a pretrained network and use it as a starting point to learn a new task. Fine-tuning a network with transfer learning is usually much faster and easier than training a network with randomly initialized weights. You can quickly transfer learned features to a new task using a smaller number of training images.

Load Pretrained Network

Load the pretrained ResNet-18 network.

net = resnet18;

View the layers of the pretrained network.

deepNetworkDesigner(net);

The first layer, the image input layer, requires input images of size 227-by-227-by-3, where three is the number of color channels.

inputSize = net.Layers(1).InputSize;

Load Data

This example uses the MathWorks MerchData data set. This is a small data set containing 75 images of MathWorks merchandise, belonging to five different classes (cap, cube, playing cards, screwdriver, and torch).

curDir = pwd;
unzip('MerchData.zip');
imds = imageDatastore('MerchData', ...
'IncludeSubfolders',true, ...
'LabelSource','foldernames');

Specify Training and Validation Sets

Divide the data into training and validation data sets, so that 30% percent of the images go to the training data set and 70% of the images to the validation data set. splitEachLabel splits the datastore imds into two new datastores, imdsTrain and imdsValidation.

[imdsTrain,imdsValidation] = splitEachLabel(imds,0.7,'randomized');

Replace Final layers

To retrain ResNet-18 to classify new images, replace the last fully connected layer and final classification layer of the network. In ResNet-18 , these layers have the names 'fc1000' and 'ClassificationLayer_predictions', respectively. The fully connected layer and classification layer of the pretrained network net are configured for 1000 classes. These two layers fc1000 and ClassificationLayer_predictions in ResNet-18, contain information on how to combine the features that the network extracts into class probabilities and predicted labels. These two layers must be fine-tuned for the new classification problem. Extract all the layers, except the last two layers, from the pretrained network.

lgraph = layerGraph(net)
lgraph = 
  LayerGraph with properties:

     InputNames: {'data'}
    OutputNames: {'ClassificationLayer_predictions'}
         Layers: [71×1 nnet.cnn.layer.Layer]
    Connections: [78×2 table]

numClasses = numel(categories(imdsTrain.Labels))
numClasses = 5
newLearnableLayer = fullyConnectedLayer(numClasses, ...
'Name','new_fc', ...
'WeightLearnRateFactor',10, ...
'BiasLearnRateFactor',10);
lgraph = replaceLayer(lgraph,'fc1000',newLearnableLayer);
newClassLayer = classificationLayer('Name','new_classoutput');
lgraph = replaceLayer(lgraph,'ClassificationLayer_predictions',newClassLayer);

Prepare Data for Training

The network requires input images of size 224-by-224-by-3, but the images in the image datastores have different sizes. Use an augmented image datastore to automatically resize the training images. Specify additional augmentation operations to perform on the training images, such as randomly flipping the training images along the vertical axis and randomly translating them up to 30 pixels horizontally and vertically. Data augmentation helps prevent the network from overfitting and memorizing the exact details of the training images.

pixelRange = [-30 30];
imageAugmenter = imageDataAugmenter( ...
'RandXReflection',true, ...
'RandXTranslation',pixelRange, ...
'RandYTranslation',pixelRange);

To automatically resize the validation images without performing further data augmentation, use an augmented image datastore without specifying any additional preprocessing operations.

augimdsTrain = augmentedImageDatastore(inputSize(1:2),imdsTrain, ...
'DataAugmentation',imageAugmenter);
augimdsValidation = augmentedImageDatastore(inputSize(1:2),imdsValidation);

Specify Training Options

Specify the training options. For transfer learning, keep the features from the early layers of the pretrained network (the transferred layer weights). To slow down learning in the transferred layers, set the initial learning rate to a small value. Specify the mini-batch size and validation data. The software validates the network every ValidationFrequency iterations during training.

options = trainingOptions('sgdm', ...
'MiniBatchSize',10, ...
'MaxEpochs',6, ...
'InitialLearnRate',1e-4, ...
'Shuffle','every-epoch', ...
'ValidationData',augimdsValidation, ...
'ValidationFrequency',3, ...
'Verbose',false, ...
'Plots','training-progress');

Train Network

Train the network that consists of the transferred and new layers. By default, trainNetwork uses a GPU if one is available. Using this function on a GPU requires Parallel Computing Toolbox™ and a supported GPU device. For more information, see GPU Computing Requirements (Parallel Computing Toolbox). If a GPU is not available, the network uses a CPU (requires MATLAB Coder Interface for Deep learning). You can also specify the execution environment by using the ExecutionEnvironment name-value argument of trainingOptions.

netTransfer = trainNetwork(augimdsTrain,lgraph,options);

Quantize Network

Quantize the network using the dlquantizer object. Set the target execution environment to FPGA.

dlquantObj = dlquantizer(netTransfer,'ExecutionEnvironment','FPGA');

Calibrate Quantized Network

Use the calibrate function to exercise the network with sample inputs and collect the range information. The calibrate function collects the dynamic ranges of the weights and biases in the convolution and fully connected layers of the network and the dynamic ranges of the activations in all layers of the network. The function returns the information as a table, in which each row contains range information for a learnable parameter of the quantized network.

Define FPGA Board Interface

Define the target FPGA board programming interface by using the dlhdl.Target object. Create a programming interface with custom name for your target device and an Ethernet interface to connect the target device to the host computer.

hTarget = dlhdl.Target('Xilinx','Interface','Ethernet');

Prepare Network for Deployment

Prepare the network for deployment by creating a dlhdl.Workflow object. Specify the network and bitstream name. Ensure that the bitstream name matches the data type and the FPGA board that you are targeting. In this example, the target FPGA board is the Xilinx® Zynq® UltraScale+™ MPSoC ZCU102 board and the bitstream uses the int8 data type.

hW = dlhdl.Workflow(Network=dlquantObj,Bitstream='zcu102_int8',Target=hTarget);

Compile Network

Run the compile method of the dlhdl.Workflow object to compile the network and generate the instructions, weights, and biases for deployment.

dn = compile(hW,'InputFrameNumberLimit',15)

Program Bitstream onto FPGA and Download Network Weights

To deploy the network on the Xilinx ZCU102 hardware, run the deploy function of the dlhdl.Workflow object. This function uses the output of the compile function to program the FPGA board by using the programming file. It also downloads the network weights and biases. The deploy function starts programming the FPGA device, displays progress messages, and the time it takes to deploy the network.

View the frames per second performance for the quantized network and single-data-type network. The quantized network has a performance of 33.8 frames per second compared to 9.2 frames per second for the single-data-type network. You can use quantization to improve your frames per second performance, however yo could lose accuracy when you quantize your networks.
