Resource Sharing in Dataflow Circuits

Paolo Ienne, Andrea Guerrieri, Lana Josipovic, Axel Marmet

To achieve resource-efficient hardware designs, high-level synthesis (HLS) tools share (i.e., time-multiplex) functional units among operations of the same type. This optimization is typically performed in conjunction with operation scheduling to ensure th ...

Rigidity-Aware Detection for 6D Object Pose Estimation

Mathieu Salzmann, Yinlin Hu, Jingyu Li, Rui Song

Most recent 6D object pose estimation methods first use object detection to obtain 2D bounding boxes before actually regressing the pose. However, the general object detection methods they use are ill-suited to handle cluttered scenes, thus producing poor ...
