Class ov::pass::ConvToBinaryConv¶

class ConvToBinaryConv : public ov::pass::MatcherPass ¶

This transformation converts Convolution to BinaryConvolution under following conditions:

first input to Convolution is a FakeQuantize with levels==2 with output low,high being either (0, 1) or (-1, 1)

second input (weights) is a constant with values -1 or 1 The transformation also converts weights to binary Constant (with ‘u1’ type) For example, when output_low is equal to 0 and output_high is equal to 1, following graph

 .... ....  out_low   out_high
   |    |      |         |
  +--------------------------+           +-------------------------------------+
  | FakeQuantize (levels==2) |           |               Constant              |
  |     (on activations)     |           | (weights containing -1 or 1 values) |
