This model is an implementation of MediaPipe-Pose-Estimation found [here](https://github.com/zmurez/MediaPipePyTorch/). This repository provides scripts to run MediaPipe-Pose-Estimation on Qualcomm® devices. More details on model performance across various devices, can be found [here](https://aihub.qualcomm.com/models/mediapipe_pose). ### Model Details - **Model Type:** Pose estimation - **Model Stats:** - Input resolution: 256x256 - Number of parameters (MediaPipePoseDetector): 815K - Model size (MediaPipePoseDetector): 3.14 MB - Number of parameters (MediaPipePoseLandmarkDetector): 3.37M - Model size (MediaPipePoseLandmarkDetector): 12.9 MB | Device | Chipset | Target Runtime | Inference Time (ms) | Peak Memory Range (MB) | Precision | Primary Compute Unit | Target Model | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| | Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra (Android 13) | Snapdragon® 8 Gen 2 | TFLite | 0.826 ms | 0 - 1 MB | FP16 | NPU | [MediaPipePoseDetector.tflite](https://huggingface.co/qualcomm/MediaPipe-Pose-Estimation/blob/main/MediaPipePoseDetector.tflite) | Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra (Android 13) | Snapdragon® 8 Gen 2 | TFLite | 1.229 ms | 0 - 3 MB | FP16 | NPU | [MediaPipePoseLandmarkDetector.tflite](https://huggingface.co/qualcomm/MediaPipe-Pose-Estimation/blob/main/MediaPipePoseLandmarkDetector.tflite) | Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra (Android 13) | Snapdragon® 8 Gen 2 | QNN Model Library | 0.879 ms | 0 - 4 MB | FP16 | NPU | [MediaPipePoseDetector.so](https://huggingface.co/qualcomm/MediaPipe-Pose-Estimation/blob/main/MediaPipePoseDetector.so) | Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra (Android 13) | Snapdragon® 8 Gen 2 | QNN Model Library | 1.34 ms | 0 - 13 MB | FP16 | NPU | [MediaPipePoseLandmarkDetector.so](https://huggingface.co/qualcomm/MediaPipe-Pose-Estimation/blob/main/MediaPipePoseLandmarkDetector.so) ## Installation This model can be installed as a Python package via pip. ```bash pip install qai-hub-models ``` ## 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.mediapipe_pose.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.mediapipe_pose.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.mediapipe_pose.export ``` ``` Profile Job summary of MediaPipePoseDetector -------------------------------------------------- Device: Snapdragon X Elite CRD (11) Estimated Inference Time: 1.00 ms Estimated Peak Memory Range: 0.50-0.50 MB Compute Units: NPU (139) | Total (139) Profile Job summary of MediaPipePoseLandmarkDetector -------------------------------------------------- Device: Snapdragon X Elite CRD (11) Estimated Inference Time: 1.43 ms Estimated Peak Memory Range: 0.75-0.75 MB Compute Units: NPU (305) | Total (305) ``` ## How does this work? This [export script](https://aihub.qualcomm.com/models/mediapipe_pose/qai_hub_models/models/MediaPipe-Pose-Estimation/export.py) leverages [Qualcomm® AI Hub](https://aihub.qualcomm.com/) to optimize, validate, and deploy this model on-device. Lets go through each step below in detail: Step 1: **Compile model for on-device deployment** To compile a PyTorch model for on-device deployment, we first trace the model in memory using the `jit.trace` and then call the `submit_compile_job` API. ```python import torch import qai_hub as hub from qai_hub_models.models.mediapipe_pose import Model # Load the model torch_model = Model.from_pretrained() # Device device = hub.Device("Samsung Galaxy S23") # Trace model input_shape = torch_model.get_input_spec() sample_inputs = torch_model.sample_inputs() pt_model = torch.jit.trace(torch_model, [torch.tensor(data[0]) for _, data in sample_inputs.items()]) # Compile model on a specific device compile_job = hub.submit_compile_job( model=pt_model, device=device, input_specs=torch_model.get_input_spec(), ) # Get target model to run on-device target_model = compile_job.get_target_model() ``` Step 2: **Performance profiling on cloud-hosted device** After compiling models from step 1. Models can be profiled model on-device using the `target_model`. Note that this scripts runs the model on a device automatically provisioned in the cloud. Once the job is submitted, you can navigate to a provided job URL to view a variety of on-device performance metrics. ```python profile_job = hub.submit_profile_job( model=target_model, device=device, ) ``` Step 3: **Verify on-device accuracy** To verify the accuracy of the model on-device, you can run on-device inference on sample input data on the same cloud hosted device. ```python input_data = torch_model.sample_inputs() inference_job = hub.submit_inference_job( model=target_model, device=device, inputs=input_data, ) on_device_output = inference_job.download_output_data() ``` With the output of the model, you can compute like PSNR, relative errors or spot check the output with expected output. **Note**: This on-device profiling and inference requires access to Qualcomm® AI Hub.
