It addresses the challenge of balancing spatial resolution and receptive field by employing a Spatial Path to preserve high-resolution features and a context path to capture sufficient receptive field. This is based on the implementation of BiseNet found [here](https://github.com/ooooverflow/BiSeNet). This repository contains pre-exported model files optimized for Qualcomm® devices. You can use the [Qualcomm® AI Hub Models](https://github.com/quic/ai-hub-models/blob/main/qai_hub_models/models/bisenet) library to export with custom configurations. More details on model performance across various devices, can be found [here](#performance-summary). Qualcomm AI Hub Models uses [Qualcomm AI Hub Workbench](https://workbench.aihub.qualcomm.com) to compile, profile, and evaluate this model. [Sign up](https://myaccount.qualcomm.com/signup) to run these models on a hosted Qualcomm® device. ## Getting Started There are two ways to deploy this model on your device: ### Option 1: Download Pre-Exported Models Below are pre-exported model assets ready for deployment. | Runtime | Precision | Chipset | SDK Versions | Download | |---|---|---|---|---| | ONNX | float | Universal | QAIRT 2.37, ONNX Runtime 1.23.0 | [Download](https://qaihub-public-assets.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/qai-hub-models/models/bisenet/releases/v0.46.0/bisenet-onnx-float.zip) | ONNX | w8a8 | Universal | QAIRT 2.37, ONNX Runtime 1.23.0 | [Download](https://qaihub-public-assets.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/qai-hub-models/models/bisenet/releases/v0.46.0/bisenet-onnx-w8a8.zip) | QNN_DLC | float | Universal | QAIRT 2.42 | [Download](https://qaihub-public-assets.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/qai-hub-models/models/bisenet/releases/v0.46.0/bisenet-qnn_dlc-float.zip) | QNN_DLC | w8a8 | Universal | QAIRT 2.42 | [Download](https://qaihub-public-assets.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/qai-hub-models/models/bisenet/releases/v0.46.0/bisenet-qnn_dlc-w8a8.zip) | TFLITE | float | Universal | QAIRT 2.42, TFLite 2.17.0 | [Download](https://qaihub-public-assets.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/qai-hub-models/models/bisenet/releases/v0.46.0/bisenet-tflite-float.zip) | TFLITE | w8a8 | Universal | QAIRT 2.42, TFLite 2.17.0 | [Download](https://qaihub-public-assets.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/qai-hub-models/models/bisenet/releases/v0.46.0/bisenet-tflite-w8a8.zip) For more device-specific assets and performance metrics, visit **[BiseNet on Qualcomm® AI Hub](https://aihub.qualcomm.com/models/bisenet)**. ### Option 2: Export with Custom Configurations Use the [Qualcomm® AI Hub Models](https://github.com/quic/ai-hub-models/blob/main/qai_hub_models/models/bisenet) Python library to compile and export the model with your own: - Custom weights (e.g., fine-tuned checkpoints) - Custom input shapes - Target device and runtime configurations This option is ideal if you need to customize the model beyond the default configuration provided here.
