    Abstract: According to one aspect, a method is proposed for detecting events or elements in physical signals by implementing an artificial neural network. The method includes an assessment of a probability of the presence of the event or the element by an implementation of the neural network. The implementation of the neural network according to a nominal mode takes as input a physical signal having a first resolution, called nominal resolution, when the probability of presence of the event or the element is greater than a threshold. The implementation of the neural network according to a low power mode takes as input a physical signal having a second resolution, called reduced resolution, lower than the first resolution, when the probability of presence of the event or the element is below the threshold.

    Abstract: A method can be used to determine an overall memory size of a global memory area to be allocated in a memory intended to store input data and output data from each layer of a neural network. An elementary memory size of an elementary memory area intended to store the input data and the output data from the layer is determined for each layer. The elementary memory size is in the range between a memory size for the input data or output data from the layer and a size equal to the sum of the memory size for the input data and the memory size for the output data from the layer. The overall memory size is determined based on the elementary memory sizes associated with the layers. The global memory area contains all the elementary memory areas.
