Abstract

A method and a computational module are provided for carrying out a quantization process of a plurality of channels carrying data received from an image capturing sensor. The computational module comprises: at least one array of processors, configured to a) retrieve data from: a1) a neural network graph, a2) a dataset associated with a data and a3) parameters' values of a neural network model; b) carry out a dynamic range calibration process for the channels received and using the neural network graph for deriving grouping constrains associated with respective channels; c) carry out a grouping optimization based on results obtained for each channel from its respective dynamic range calibration and its grouping constrains; d) arrange the channels so that channels having similar grouping constrains are grouped together into one output channel; and e) calculate required quantization parameters for carrying out a quantization process of the output channels.
