In this work, it is proposed to implement a convolution Binarized Neural Network (BNN) to classify objects from RGB images. BNNs reduce the amount of computational and memory resources, and allow them to be inferred in embedded systems such as FPGAs, achieving real-time responses. The model is based on the VGG16 network and is trained on the CIFAR10 dataset. The network is binary quantized with the training-aware quantization technique (QAT). An accuracy close to 88% was achieved with the CIFAR10 evacuation set.
