DenseNet-121: Optimized for Qualcomm Devices
Densenet is a machine learning model that can classify images from the Imagenet dataset. It can also be used as a backbone in building more complex models for specific use cases.
This is based on the implementation of DenseNet-121 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.
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 2.42, ONNX Runtime 1.24.3 | Download |
