# MobileFaceNet: Optimized for Qualcomm Devices

MobileFaceNet is an efficient CNN that maps a 112x112 face image to a compact 128-dimensional embedding. Two embeddings are compared via cosine similarity to determine whether they belong to the same person, achieving 99.48% accuracy on the LFW benchmark. The model uses depthwise-separable convolutions and inverted residual blocks (MobileNetV2-style) to stay under 1M parameters, making it well-suited for real-time face verification on mobile and edge devices. Trained with ArcFace loss on MS-Celeb-1M.

This is based on the implementation of MobileFaceNet found [here](https://github.com/foamliu/MobileFaceNet).
This repository contains pre-exported model files optimized for Qualcomm® devices. You can use the [Qualcomm® AI Hub Models](https://github.com/qualcomm/ai-hub-models/blob/v0.61.0/src/qai_hub_models/models/mobile_facenet) library to export with custom configurations. More details on model performance across various devices, can be found [here](#performance-summary).

Qualcomm AI Hub Models uses [Qualcomm AI Hub Workbench](https://workbench.aihub.qualcomm.com) to compile, profile, and evaluate this model. [Sign up](https://myaccount.qualcomm.com/signup) 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 2.45, ONNX Runtime 1.27.1 | [Download](https://qaihub-public-assets.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/qai-hub-models/models/mobile_facenet/releases/v0.61.0/mobile_facenet-onnx-float.zip)
| ONNX | w8a16 | Universal | QAIRT 2.45, ONNX Runtime 1.27.1 | [Download](https://qaihub-public-assets.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/qai-hub-models/models/mobile_facenet/releases/v0.61.0/mobile_facenet-onnx-w8a16.zip)
| QNN_DLC | float | Universal | QAIRT 2.45 | [Download](https://qaihub-public-assets.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/qai-hub-models/models/mobile_facenet/releases/v0.61.0/mobile_facenet-qnn_dlc-float.zip)
| QNN_DLC | w8a16 | Universal | QAIRT 2.45 | [Download](https://qaihub-public-assets.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/qai-hub-models/models/mobile_facenet/releases/v0.61.0/mobile_facenet-qnn_dlc-w8a16.zip)
| TFLITE | float | Universal | QAIRT 2.45 | [Download](https://qaihub-public-assets.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/qai-hub-models/models/mobile_facenet/releases/v0.61.0/mobile_facenet-tflite-float.zip)

For more device-specific assets and performance metrics, visit **[MobileFaceNet on Qualcomm® AI Hub](https://aihub.qualcomm.com/models/mobile_facenet)**.


### Option 2: Export with Custom Configurations

Use the [Qualcomm® AI Hub Models](https://github.com/qualcomm/ai-hub-models/blob/v0.61.0/src/qai_hub_models/models/mobile_facenet) 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 [MobileFaceNet on GitHub](https://github.com/qualcomm/ai-hub-models/blob/v0.61.0/src/qai_hub_models/models/mobile_facenet) for usage instructions.
