# QuickSRNetMedium-Quantized: Optimized for Mobile Deployment
## Upscale images and remove image noise

QuickSRNet Medium is designed for upscaling images on mobile platforms to sharpen in real-time.

This model is an implementation of QuickSRNetMedium-Quantized found [here](https://github.com/quic/aimet-model-zoo/tree/develop/aimet_zoo_torch/quicksrnet).
This repository provides scripts to run QuickSRNetMedium-Quantized on Qualcomm® devices.
More details on model performance across various devices, can be found
[here](https://aihub.qualcomm.com/models/quicksrnetmedium_quantized).

| Device | Chipset | Target Runtime | Inference Time (ms) | Peak Memory Range (MB) | Precision | Primary Compute Unit | Target Model
| ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra (Android 13) | Snapdragon® 8 Gen 2 | TFLite | 1.157 ms | 0 - 3 MB | INT8 | NPU |  [QuickSRNetMedium-Quantized.tflite](https://huggingface.co/qualcomm/QuickSRNetMedium-Quantized/blob/main/QuickSRNetMedium-Quantized.tflite) 
| Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra (Android 13) | Snapdragon® 8 Gen 2 | QNN Model Library | 0.811 ms | 0 - 10 MB | INT8 | NPU |  [QuickSRNetMedium-Quantized.so](https://huggingface.co/qualcomm/QuickSRNetMedium-Quantized/blob/main/QuickSRNetMedium-Quantized.so) 



## Installation

This model can be installed as a Python package via pip.

```bash
pip install "qai-hub-models[quicksrnetmedium_quantized]"
```



## Configure Qualcomm® AI Hub to run this model on a cloud-hosted device

Sign-in to [Qualcomm® AI Hub](https://app.aihub.qualcomm.com/) 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.
```bash
qai-hub configure --api_token API_TOKEN
```
Navigate to [docs](https://app.aihub.qualcomm.com/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.

```bash
python -m qai_hub_models.models.quicksrnetmedium_quantized.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.quicksrnetmedium_quantized.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.

```bash
python -m qai_hub_models.models.quicksrnetmedium_quantized.export
```

```
Profile Job summary of QuickSRNetMedium-Quantized
--------------------------------------------------
Device: SA8255 (Proxy) (13)
Estimated Inference Time: 0.80 ms
Estimated Peak Memory Range: 0.07-9.63 MB
Compute Units: NPU (11) | Total (11)


```




## Run demo on a cloud-hosted device

You can also run the demo on-device.

```bash
python -m qai_hub_models.models.quicksrnetmedium_quantized.demo --on-device
```

**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.quicksrnetmedium_quantized.demo -- --on-device
```


## Deploying compiled model to Android


The models can be deployed using multiple runtimes:
- TensorFlow Lite (`.tflite` export): [This
  tutorial](https://www.tensorflow.org/lite/android/quickstart) provides a
  guide to deploy the .tflite model in an Android application.


- QNN (`.so` export ): This [sample
  app](https://docs.qualcomm.com/bundle/publicresource/topics/80-63442-50/sample_app.html)
provides instructions on how to use the `.so` shared library  in an Android application.
