Trained on the Cityscapes dataset. This model is an implementation of FFNet-40S-Quantized found [here](https://github.com/Qualcomm-AI-research/FFNet). This repository provides scripts to run FFNet-40S-Quantized on Qualcomm® devices. More details on model performance across various devices, can be found [here](https://aihub.qualcomm.com/models/ffnet_40s_quantized). ### Model Details - **Model Type:** Semantic segmentation - **Model Stats:** - Model checkpoint: ffnet40S_dBBB_cityscapes_state_dict_quarts - Input resolution: 2048x1024 - Number of parameters: 13.9M - Model size: 13.5 MB - Number of output classes: 19 | Model | Device | Chipset | Target Runtime | Inference Time (ms) | Peak Memory Range (MB) | Precision | Primary Compute Unit | Target Model |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| | FFNet-40S-Quantized | Samsung Galaxy S23 | Snapdragon® 8 Gen 2 | TFLITE | 4.183 ms | 1 - 3 MB | INT8 | NPU | [FFNet-40S-Quantized.tflite](https://huggingface.co/qualcomm/FFNet-40S-Quantized/blob/main/FFNet-40S-Quantized.tflite) | | FFNet-40S-Quantized | Samsung Galaxy S23 | Snapdragon® 8 Gen 2 | ONNX | 8.994 ms | 0 - 12 MB | INT8 | NPU | [FFNet-40S-Quantized.onnx](https://huggingface.co/qualcomm/FFNet-40S-Quantized/blob/main/FFNet-40S-Quantized.onnx) | | FFNet-40S-Quantized | Samsung Galaxy S24 | Snapdragon® 8 Gen 3 | TFLITE | 2.919 ms | 1 - 67 MB | INT8 | NPU | [FFNet-40S-Quantized.tflite](https://huggingface.co/qualcomm/FFNet-40S-Quantized/blob/main/FFNet-40S-Quantized.tflite) | | FFNet-40S-Quantized | Samsung Galaxy S24 | Snapdragon® 8 Gen 3 | ONNX | 6.253 ms | 7 - 112 MB | INT8 | NPU | [FFNet-40S-Quantized.onnx](https://huggingface.co/qualcomm/FFNet-40S-Quantized/blob/main/FFNet-40S-Quantized.onnx) | | FFNet-40S-Quantized | Snapdragon 8 Elite QRD | Snapdragon® 8 Elite | TFLITE | 2.975 ms | 0 - 31 MB | INT8 | NPU | [FFNet-40S-Quantized.tflite](https://huggingface.co/qualcomm/FFNet-40S-Quantized/blob/main/FFNet-40S-Quantized.tflite) | | FFNet-40S-Quantized | Snapdragon 8 Elite QRD | Snapdragon® 8 Elite | ONNX | 6.106 ms | 7 - 58 MB | INT8 | NPU | [FFNet-40S-Quantized.onnx](https://huggingface.co/qualcomm/FFNet-40S-Quantized/blob/main/FFNet-40S-Quantized.onnx) | | FFNet-40S-Quantized | RB3 Gen 2 (Proxy) | QCS6490 Proxy | TFLITE | 26.424 ms | 0 - 38 MB | INT8 | NPU | [FFNet-40S-Quantized.tflite](https://huggingface.co/qualcomm/FFNet-40S-Quantized/blob/main/FFNet-40S-Quantized.tflite) | | FFNet-40S-Quantized | RB5 (Proxy) | QCS8250 Proxy | TFLITE | 188.962 ms | 1 - 9 MB | INT8 | NPU | [FFNet-40S-Quantized.tflite](https://huggingface.co/qualcomm/FFNet-40S-Quantized/blob/main/FFNet-40S-Quantized.tflite) | | FFNet-40S-Quantized | QCS8550 (Proxy) | QCS8550 Proxy | TFLITE | 4.076 ms | 0 - 139 MB | INT8 | NPU | [FFNet-40S-Quantized.tflite](https://huggingface.co/qualcomm/FFNet-40S-Quantized/blob/main/FFNet-40S-Quantized.tflite) | | FFNet-40S-Quantized | SA8255 (Proxy) | SA8255P Proxy | TFLITE | 4.177 ms | 1 - 3 MB | INT8 | NPU | [FFNet-40S-Quantized.tflite](https://huggingface.co/qualcomm/FFNet-40S-Quantized/blob/main/FFNet-40S-Quantized.tflite) | | FFNet-40S-Quantized | SA8775 (Proxy) | SA8775P Proxy | TFLITE | 4.16 ms | 0 - 175 MB | INT8 | NPU | [FFNet-40S-Quantized.tflite](https://huggingface.co/qualcomm/FFNet-40S-Quantized/blob/main/FFNet-40S-Quantized.tflite) | | FFNet-40S-Quantized | SA8650 (Proxy) | SA8650P Proxy | TFLITE | 4.072 ms | 1 - 3 MB | INT8 | NPU | [FFNet-40S-Quantized.tflite](https://huggingface.co/qualcomm/FFNet-40S-Quantized/blob/main/FFNet-40S-Quantized.tflite) | | FFNet-40S-Quantized | SA8295P ADP | SA8295P | TFLITE | 8.068 ms | 1 - 32 MB | INT8 | NPU | [FFNet-40S-Quantized.tflite](https://huggingface.co/qualcomm/FFNet-40S-Quantized/blob/main/FFNet-40S-Quantized.tflite) | | FFNet-40S-Quantized | QCS8450 (Proxy) | QCS8450 Proxy | TFLITE | 5.159 ms | 0 - 64 MB | INT8 | NPU | [FFNet-40S-Quantized.tflite](https://huggingface.co/qualcomm/FFNet-40S-Quantized/blob/main/FFNet-40S-Quantized.tflite) | | FFNet-40S-Quantized | Snapdragon X Elite CRD | Snapdragon® X Elite | ONNX | 9.128 ms | 10 - 10 MB | INT8 | NPU | [FFNet-40S-Quantized.onnx](https://huggingface.co/qualcomm/FFNet-40S-Quantized/blob/main/FFNet-40S-Quantized.onnx) | ## Installation This model can be installed as a Python package via pip. ```bash pip install "qai-hub-models[ffnet_40s_quantized]" ``` ## Configure Qualcomm® AI Hub to run this model on a cloud-hosted device Sign-in to [Qualcomm® AI Hub](https://app.aihub.qualcomm.com/) 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. ```bash qai-hub configure --api_token API_TOKEN ``` Navigate to [docs](https://app.aihub.qualcomm.com/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. ```bash python -m qai_hub_models.models.ffnet_40s_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.ffnet_40s_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. ```bash python -m qai_hub_models.models.ffnet_40s_quantized.export ``` ``` Profiling Results ------------------------------------------------------------ FFNet-40S-Quantized Device : Samsung Galaxy S23 (13) Runtime : TFLITE Estimated inference time (ms) : 4.2 Estimated peak memory usage (MB): [1, 3] Total # Ops : 99 Compute Unit(s) : NPU (99 ops) ``` ## Run demo on a cloud-hosted device You can also run the demo on-device. ```bash python -m qai_hub_models.models.ffnet_40s_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.ffnet_40s_quantized.demo -- --on-device ``` ## Deploying compiled model to Android The models can be deployed using multiple runtimes: - TensorFlow Lite (`.tflite` export): [This tutorial](https://www.tensorflow.org/lite/android/quickstart) provides a guide to deploy the .tflite model in an Android application. - QNN (`.so` export ): This [sample app](https://docs.qualcomm.com/bundle/publicresource/topics/80-63442-50/sample_app.html) provides instructions on how to use the `.so` shared library in an Android application. ## View on Qualcomm® AI Hub Get more details on FFNet-40S-Quantized's performance across various devices [here](https://aihub.qualcomm.com/models/ffnet_40s_quantized).
