Unet-Segmentation: Optimized for Qualcomm Devices
UNet is a machine learning model that produces a segmentation mask for an image. The most basic use case will label each pixel in the image as being in the foreground or the background. More advanced usage will assign a class label to each pixel. This version of the model was trained on the data from Kaggle's Carvana Image Masking Challenge (see https://www.kaggle.com/c/carvana-image-masking-challenge) and is used for vehicle segmentation.
This is based on the implementation of Unet-Segmentation found here. This repository contains pre-exported model files optimized for Qualcomm® devices. You can use the Qualcomm® AI Hub Models library to export with custom configurations. More details on model performance across various devices, can be found here.
Qualcomm AI Hub Models uses Qualcomm AI Hub Workbench to compile, profile, and evaluate this model. Sign up to run these models on a hosted Qualcomm® device.
