Abstract:
A method for processing image using fully connected convolutional neural network and a circuit system are provided. The method is operated using fully connected convolutional neural network (CNN) and performed by the circuit system. In the method, an image with a length, a width and an aspect ratio is obtained. A reference image closest to the input image can be obtained by querying a lookup table that records multiple reference images with various sizes to be adapted to the fully connected CNN. The input image can be resized as the closest reference image. A convolution operation is then performed onto the resized image, and a feature cube is formed after multiple operations of convolution. The feature cube is transformed to one-dimensional feature values that are configured to be inputted to a fully connected layer for fully connected operation. An output value of the fully connected CNN is generated.
