U2Net-Segmentation: Optimized for Qualcomm Devices

U2-Net is a machine learning model for salient object detection and foreground extraction. It uses a two-level nested U-structure (RSU blocks) to capture both local and global context at multiple scales, producing high-quality binary foreground masks. The model is trained on the DUTS dataset and is well-suited for background removal, portrait segmentation, and object extraction on mobile and edge devices.

This is based on the implementation of U2Net-Segmentation 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.
