Original Abstract Submitted

Methods and devices are provided for processing image data on a sub-frame portion basis using layers of a convolutional neural network. The processing device comprises memory and a processor. The processor is configured to determine, for an input tile of an image, a receptive field via backward propagation and determine a size of the input tile based on the receptive field and an amount of local memory allocated to store data for the input tile. The processor determines whether the amount of local memory allocated to store the data of the input tile and padded data for the receptive field.
