# Overview of PyTorch STM32 Model Zoo for Object Detection

The STM32 model zoo includes several PyTorch-based models for object detection use cases, converted to ONNX format and optimized for STM32N6 NPU deployment. All models are pre-trained on ImageNet and quantized using QDQ INT8 quantization.

## Model Categories

- `ST_pretrainedmodel_public_dataset` contains  PyTorch object detection models pretrained by ST on open source datasets such as MS COCO, Pascal VOC, COCO person and converted to ONNX format with QDQ quantization.
