D-FINE: Optimized for Qualcomm Devices
D-FINE is a state-of-the-art real-time object detection model that redefines the regression task in DETRs as fine-grained distribution refinement. The default variant is trained on the COCO dataset.
This is based on the implementation of D-FINE 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.
