Abstract
The present invention aims to reduce power consumption in the operation based upon a recognition device () including, in a neural network of multiple layers that output type of an object and existing coordinates based on external environment information, a selector () that selects input data to convolution operation units (-to L) from external environment information; convolution operation units (-to L) configured by a plurality of layers connected in cascade; and a parameter storage unit () that stores a weight parameter of each layer, a cumulative addition count of each layer, and an omitting bit number of each layer. The recognition device includes operation stop signal generation units (-to L) that transmit one or more stop signals for stopping some or all of the computing units of the convolution operation units (-to L) to the convolution operation units (-to L) for each layer.
