With the development of the times,traditional image recognition algorithms have certain limitations in terms of their computational ability and effectiveness when facing a large number of complex images.In view of this,the study first analyzes the ex-isting convolutional neural network in deep learning and improves its computational aspects.Secondly,a field programmable gate ar-ray gas pedal was added for optimization.Finally,the layout is implemented in an embedded system and a novel image recognition model is proposed.The experimental results show that the proposed new model has the highest recognition accuracy of 93%,the low-est Loss value of 0.4,and the fastest iteration time of 200 times.Its shortest processing time for a single image is 11.5 ms,and the average resource utilization is 80.5%.The overall recognition rate of this model in the flower image simulation test is 83.3%,with the highest recognition rate of 92.3%for the rose category.In summary,the new model proposed in the study is able to efficiently ac-complish image recognition tasks in embedded environments,while providing accurate and efficient image recognition solutions for subsequent technological research.
