| | # MobileNet V1 |
| |
|
| | ## **Use case** : `Image classification` |
| |
|
| | # Model description |
| |
|
| |
|
| | The original MobileNet architecture pioneered the use of **depthwise separable convolutions** for efficient mobile vision. It dramatically reduces computation and model size while maintaining competitive accuracy. |
| |
|
| | MobileNet factorizes standard convolutions into **depthwise and pointwise operations**, dramatically reducing computational cost. The architecture supports a **width multiplier (Alpha)** to scale channel dimensions (a025 = 0.25x, a050 = 0.5x, a075 = 0.75x), and uses **linear bottleneck** for efficient channel expansion and compression. |
| |
|
| | Resolution multipliers can further scale input resolution for additional efficiency, making MobileNet ideal for real-time mobile applications and resource-constrained embedded systems. |
| |
|

| |
|
| | The model is quantized to **int8** using **ONNX Runtime** and exported for efficient deployment. |
