# ControlNet-Canny: Optimized for Mobile Deployment
## Generating visual arts from text prompt and input guiding image
On-device, high-resolution image synthesis from text and image prompts. ControlNet guides Stable-diffusion with provided input image to generate accurate images from given input prompt.
This model is an implementation of ControlNet-Canny found [here](https://github.com/lllyasviel/ControlNet).
This repository provides scripts to run ControlNet-Canny on Qualcomm® devices.
More details on model performance across various devices, can be found

## Installation
Install the package via pip:
```bash
# NOTE: 3.10 <= PYTHON_VERSION < 3.14 is supported.
pip install "qai-hub-models[controlnet-canny]"
```
## Configure Qualcomm® AI Hub Workbench to run this model on a cloud-hosted device
Sign-in to [Qualcomm® AI Hub Workbench](https://workbench.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://workbench.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.controlnet_canny.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.controlnet_canny.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.controlnet_canny.export
```
## Deploying compiled model to Android
The models can be deployed using multiple runtimes:
- TensorFlow Lite (`.tflite` export): [This
tutorial](https://www.tensorflow.org/lite/android/quickstart) provides a
guide to deploy the .tflite model in an Android application.
- QNN (`.so` export ): This [sample
app](https://docs.qualcomm.com/bundle/publicresource/topics/80-63442-50/sample_app.html)
provides instructions on how to use the `.so` shared library in an Android application.
