How does this work?

This export script leverages Qualcomm® AI Hub 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.

import torch

import qai_hub as hub
from qai_hub_models.models.mediapipe_face import Model

# Load the model
model = Model.from_pretrained()
face_detector_model = model.face_detector
face_landmark_detector_model = model.face_landmark_detector

# Device
device = hub.Device("Samsung Galaxy S23")

# Trace model
face_detector_input_shape = face_detector_model.get_input_spec()
face_detector_sample_inputs = face_detector_model.sample_inputs()

traced_face_detector_model = torch.jit.trace(face_detector_model, [torch.tensor(data[0]) for _, data in face_detector_sample_inputs.items()])

# Compile model on a specific device
face_detector_compile_job = hub.submit_compile_job(
    model=traced_face_detector_model ,
    device=device,
    input_specs=face_detector_model.get_input_spec(),
)

# Get target model to run on-device
face_detector_target_model = face_detector_compile_job.get_target_model()
# Trace model
face_landmark_detector_input_shape = face_landmark_detector_model.get_input_spec()
face_landmark_detector_sample_inputs = face_landmark_detector_model.sample_inputs()

traced_face_landmark_detector_model = torch.jit.trace(face_landmark_detector_model, [torch.tensor(data[0]) for _, data in face_landmark_detector_sample_inputs.items()])

# Compile model on a specific device
face_landmark_detector_compile_job = hub.submit_compile_job(
    model=traced_face_landmark_detector_model ,
    device=device,
    input_specs=face_landmark_detector_model.get_input_spec(),
)

# Get target model to run on-device
face_landmark_detector_target_model = face_landmark_detector_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.

face_detector_profile_job = hub.submit_profile_job(
    model=face_detector_target_model,
    device=device,
)
face_landmark_detector_profile_job = hub.submit_profile_job(
    model=face_landmark_detector_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.

face_detector_input_data = face_detector_model.sample_inputs()
face_detector_inference_job = hub.submit_inference_job(
    model=face_detector_target_model,
    device=device,
    inputs=face_detector_input_data,
)
face_detector_inference_job.download_output_data()
face_landmark_detector_input_data = face_landmark_detector_model.sample_inputs()
face_landmark_detector_inference_job = hub.submit_inference_job(
    model=face_landmark_detector_target_model,
    device=device,
    inputs=face_landmark_detector_input_data,
)
face_landmark_detector_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. Sign up for access.
