DenseNet-121: Optimized for Qualcomm Devices

Densenet is a machine learning model that can classify images from the Imagenet dataset. It can also be used as a backbone in building more complex models for specific use cases.

This is based on the implementation of DenseNet-121 found here. This repository contains pre-exported model files optimized for Qualcomm® devices. You can use the Qualcomm® AI Hub Models library to export with custom configurations. More details on model performance across various devices, can be found here.

Qualcomm AI Hub Models uses Qualcomm AI Hub Workbench to compile, profile, and evaluate this model. Sign up to run these models on a hosted Qualcomm® device.

Getting Started

There are two ways to deploy this model on your device:

Option 1: Download Pre-Exported Models

Below are pre-exported model assets ready for deployment.

Runtime Precision Chipset SDK Versions Download
ONNX float Universal QAIRT 2.50, ONNX Runtime 1.27.1 Download
ONNX w8a16 Universal QAIRT 2.50, ONNX Runtime 1.27.1 Download
ONNX w8a8 Universal QAIRT 2.50, ONNX Runtime 1.27.1 Download

For more device-specific assets and performance metrics, visit DenseNet-121 on Qualcomm® AI Hub.

Option 2: Export with Custom Configurations

Use the Qualcomm® AI Hub Models Python library to compile and export the model with your own:

  • Custom weights (e.g., fine-tuned checkpoints)
  • Custom input shapes
  • Target device and runtime configurations

This option is ideal if you need to customize the model beyond the default configuration provided here.

See our repository for DenseNet-121 on GitHub for usage instructions.
