SuperPoint: Optimized for Qualcomm Devices

SuperPoint is a self-supervised framework for detecting interest points and computing their descriptors in a single forward pass. It uses a VGG-style encoder shared between a keypoint detector head and a descriptor head, trained via homographic adaptation on synthetic shapes and real images. The model outputs up to 500 keypoints per image with 256-dimensional L2-normalised descriptors, suitable for feature matching, visual localisation, and SLAM.

This is based on the implementation of SuperPoint 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.

Option 2: Export with Custom Configurations

Use the Qualcomm® AI Hub Models 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 SuperPoint on GitHub for usage instructions.
