MediaPipe-Face-Detection: Optimized for Mobile Deployment
Detect faces and locate facial features in real-time video and image streams
Designed for sub-millisecond processing, this model predicts bounding boxes and pose skeletons (left eye, right eye, nose tip, mouth, left eye tragion, and right eye tragion) of faces in an image.
This model is an implementation of MediaPipe-Face-Detection found here.
This repository provides scripts to run MediaPipe-Face-Detection on Qualcomm® devices. More details on model performance across various devices, can be found here.

Installation
Install the package via pip:
pip install qai-hub-models
Configure Qualcomm® AI Hub to run this model on a cloud-hosted device
Sign-in to Qualcomm® AI Hub 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.
qai-hub configure --api_token API_TOKEN
Navigate to 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.
python -m qai_hub_models.models.mediapipe_face.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.mediapipe_face.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.
python -m qai_hub_models.models.mediapipe_face.export

How does this work?
This export script leverages Qualcomm® AI Hub to optimize, validate, and deploy this model on-device. Lets go through each step below in detail:
Step 1: Compile model for on-device deployment
To compile a PyTorch model for on-device deployment, we first trace the model
in memory using the jit.trace and then call the submit_compile_job API.
import torch
import qai_hub as hub
from qai_hub_models.models.mediapipe_face import Model
# Load the model
torch_model = Model.from_pretrained()
# Device
device = hub.Device("Samsung Galaxy S24")
# Trace model
input_shape = torch_model.get_input_spec()
sample_inputs = torch_model.sample_inputs()
pt_model = torch.jit.trace(torch_model, [torch.tensor(data[0]) for _, data in sample_inputs.items()])
# Compile model on a specific device
compile_job = hub.submit_compile_job(
    model=pt_model,
    device=device,
    input_specs=torch_model.get_input_spec(),
)
# Get target model to run on-device
target_model = compile_job.get_target_model()
Step 2: Performance profiling on cloud-hosted device
After compiling models from step 1. Models can be profiled model on-device using the
target_model. Note that this scripts runs the model on a device automatically
provisioned in the cloud.  Once the job is submitted, you can navigate to a
provided job URL to view a variety of on-device performance metrics.
profile_job = hub.submit_profile_job(
    model=target_model,
    device=device,
)
        
Step 3: Verify on-device accuracy
To verify the accuracy of the model on-device, you can run on-device inference on sample input data on the same cloud hosted device.
input_data = torch_model.sample_inputs()
inference_job = hub.submit_inference_job(
    model=target_model,
    device=device,
    inputs=input_data,
)
    on_device_output = inference_job.download_output_data()
With the output of the model, you can compute like PSNR, relative errors or spot check the output with expected output.
Note: This on-device profiling and inference requires access to Qualcomm® AI Hub. Sign up for access.
Deploying compiled model to Android
The models can be deployed using multiple runtimes:
- TensorFlow Lite ( - .tfliteexport): This tutorial provides a guide to deploy the .tflite model in an Android application.
- QNN ( - .soexport ): This sample app provides instructions on how to use the- .soshared library in an Android application.
