Installation

This model can be installed as a Python package via pip.

pip install "qai-hub-models[hrnet_pose_quantized]"

Configure Qualcomm® AI Hub to run this model on a cloud-hosted device

Sign-in to Qualcomm® AI Hub with your Qualcomm® ID. Once signed in navigate to Account -> Settings -> API Token.

With this API token, you can configure your client to run models on the cloud hosted devices.

qai-hub configure --api_token API_TOKEN

Navigate to docs for more information.

Demo off target

The package contains a simple end-to-end demo that downloads pre-trained weights and runs this model on a sample input.

python -m qai_hub_models.models.hrnet_pose_quantized.demo

The above demo runs a reference implementation of pre-processing, model inference, and post processing.

NOTE: If you want running in a Jupyter Notebook or Google Colab like environment, please add the following to your cell (instead of the above).

%run -m qai_hub_models.models.hrnet_pose_quantized.demo

Run model on a cloud-hosted device

In addition to the demo, you can also run the model on a cloud-hosted Qualcomm® device. This script does the following:

Performance check on-device on a cloud-hosted device
Downloads compiled assets that can be deployed on-device for Android.
Accuracy check between PyTorch and on-device outputs.

python -m qai_hub_models.models.hrnet_pose_quantized.export

Run demo on a cloud-hosted device

You can also run the demo on-device.

python -m qai_hub_models.models.hrnet_pose_quantized.demo --on-device

NOTE: If you want running in a Jupyter Notebook or Google Colab like environment, please add the following to your cell (instead of the above).

%run -m qai_hub_models.models.hrnet_pose_quantized.demo -- --on-device

Deploying compiled model to Android

The models can be deployed using multiple runtimes:

TensorFlow Lite (.tflite export): This tutorial provides a guide to deploy the .tflite model in an Android application.
QNN (.so export ): This sample app provides instructions on how to use the .so shared library in an Android application.
