BiseNet: Segment images or video by class in real-time on device

BiSeNet (Bilateral Segmentation Network) is a novel architecture designed for real-time semantic segmentation. It addresses the challenge of balancing spatial resolution and receptive field by employing a Spatial Path to preserve high-resolution features and a context path to capture sufficient receptive field.

This is based on the implementation of BiseNet found here. This repository contains scripts for optimized on-device export suitable to run on Qualcomm® devices. More details on model performance accross various devices, can be found here.

Sign up to start using Qualcomm AI Hub and run these models on a hosted Qualcomm® device.

Example & Usage

Install the package via pip:

pip install qai-hub-models

Once installed, run the following simple CLI demo:

python -m qai_hub_models.models.bisenet.demo

More details on the CLI tool can be found with the --help option. See demo.py for sample usage of the model including pre/post processing scripts. Please refer to our general instructions on using models for more usage instructions.

Export for on-device deployment

This repository contains export scripts that produce a model optimized for on-device deployment. This can be run as follows:

python -m qai_hub_models.models.bisenet.export

Additional options are documented with the --help option. Note that the above script requires access to Deployment instructions for Qualcomm® AI Hub.
