In this paper, we analyze the performance degradation of previous 1-Bit convolutional neural network method and introduce ways to mitigate it. Previous work applies 32-Bit operation to first and last layers. But our method applies 32-Bit operation to second layer too. We also show that nonlinear activation function can be removed after binarizing inputs and weights. In order to verify the method proposed in this paper, we experiment the object detection neural network for korean license plate detection. Our method results in 96.1% accuracy, but the existing method results in 74% accuracy.
