FPGA accelerates face recognition while protecting inference model through data encryption - The video below, made at the recent Embedded Vision Summit, demonstrates an Intel® FPGA performing face recognition through a machine language (ML) inference model. A CPU downloads the model to the FPGA in encrypted form and is stored that way in the FPGA’s external SDRAM. Decryption only occurs when the FPGA reads the model...
