Abstract
An apparatus comprises a memory, one or more hardware engines, and a processor. The memory may be configured to store a feature map pyramid comprising an original feature map and a plurality of scaled feature maps. The one or more hardware engines may be configured to perform pooling operations utilizing power of two down sampling. The processor may be configured to generate the feature map pyramid from the original feature map using said one or more hardware engines.
