Hybrid SNN-ANN: Energy-Efficient Classification and Object Detection for Event-Based Vision

no code implementations6 Dec 2021 Alexander Kugele, Thomas Pfeil, Michael Pfeiffer, Elisabetta Chicca

In this article we propose a hybrid architecture for end-to-end training of deep neural networks for event-based pattern recognition and object detection, combining a spiking neural network (SNN) backbone for efficient event-based feature extraction, and a subsequent analog neural network (ANN) head to solve synchronous classification and detection tasks.
