    Abstract: An image processing circuit includes a receiving circuit, a feature fetching module and a decision circuit. In the operations of the image processing circuit, the receiving circuit is configured to receive image data. The feature fetching module is configured to use a multi-topological-convolutional network to fetch the features of the image data, to generate a plurality of image features determined by the characteristics and weights of the convolution filter, where the image features may be smooth features or edge features. In the present invention, the convolution filters used by the feature fetching module are not limited by a square convention filter, and the convolution filters may include the multiple topological convolutional network having non-square convolution filters. By using the multiple topological convolutional network of the present invention, the feature fetching module can fetch the rich image features for identifying the contents of the image data.

    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.

    Abstract: A calculation method using pixel-channel shuffle convolutional neural network is provided. In the method, an operating system receives original input data. The original input data is pre-processed by a pixel shuffle process to be separated into multiple groups in order to minimize dimension of the data. The multiple groups of data are then processed by a channel shuffle process so as to form multiple groups of new input data selected for convolution operation. The unselected data are abandoned. Therefore, the dimension of the input data can be much effectively minimized. A multiplier-accumulator of the operating system is used to execute convolution operation using a convolution kernel and the multiple new groups of input data. Multiple output data are then produced.
