Resumen

Meeting the rising global demand for healthcare diagnostic tools is crucial, especially with a shortage of medical professionals. This issue has increased interest in utilizing deep learning (DL) and telemedicine technologies. DL, a branch of artificial intelligence, has progressed due to advancements in digital technology and data availability and has proven to be effective in solving previously challenging learning problems. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) show potential in image detection and recognition, particularly in healthcare applications. However, due to their resource-intensiveness, they surpass the capabilities of general-purpose CPUs. Therefore, hardware accelerators such as application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), and graphics processing units (GPUs) have been developed. With their parallelism efficiency and energy-saving capabilities, FPGAs have gained popularity for DL networks. This research aims to automate the classification of normal and abnormal (specifically Diabetic Foot Ulcer—DFU) classes using various parallel hardware accelerators. The study introduces two CNN models, namely DFU_FNet and DFU_TFNet. DFU_FNet is a simple model that extracts features used to train classifiers like SVM and KNN. On the other hand, DFU_TFNet is a deeper model that employs transfer learning to test hardware efficiency on both shallow and deep models. DFU_TFNet has outperformed AlexNet, VGG16, and GoogleNet benchmarks with an accuracy 99.81%, precision 99.38% and F1-Score 99.25%. In addition, the study evaluated two high-performance computing platforms, GPUs and FPGAs, for real-time system requirements. The comparison of processing time and power consumption revealed that while GPUs outpace FPGAs in processing speed, FPGAs exhibit significantly lower power consumption than GPUs.
