Running YOLO V2 on FPGA using CON-FMCTM

YOLO is one of most popular object detection neural network models. This video clip shows a novel approach of implementing YOLO-V2 on FPGA along with Raspbperry Pi 4, in which the Raspberry Pi is connected to the FPGA board through USB/CON-FMCTM. This approach implies a new way of acceleration for Deep-Learning application by utilizing FPGA along with relatively low/medium performance computers.
