Binarized Neural Network (BNN) is a quantized Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), reducing the precision of network parameters for a much smaller model size. In BNNs, the Batch Normalisation (BN) layer is essential. When running BN on edge devices, floating point instructions take up a significant number of cycles to perform.

Real-time localization and tracking of the NG tube passage at the larynx region into the esophagus is crucial for safety, but is lacking in current practice. In this paper, we present the design, analysis and evaluation of a non-invasive real-time localization system using passive magnetic tracking techniques to improve efficacy of the clinical NG intubation process.
