Abstract

Methods and systems for implementing a traditional computer vision algorithm as a neural network. The method includes: receiving a definition of the traditional computer vision algorithm that identifies a sequence of one or more traditional computer vision algorithm operations; mapping each of the one or more traditional computer vision algorithm operations to a set of one or more neural network primitives that is mathematically equivalent to that traditional computer vision algorithm operation; linking the one or more network primitives mapped to each traditional computer vision algorithm operation according to the sequence to form a neural network representing the traditional computer vision algorithm; and configuring hardware logic capable of implementing a neural network to implement the neural network that represents the traditional computer vision algorithm.
