U^2-Net salient object / background removal
Browser-ready import artifacts for background-removal, produced by SkillSafe's
reproducible converter (models/ in skillsafe.ai)
from a pinned upstream source. Every byte here is derivable from that source plus
the recipe below; nothing was edited by hand.

registry files are parameter files served from models.skillsafe.ai once vetted;
bundle files ship inside an app; registry-shared is a runtime library reused by
every model of the same architecture.
Verification
Imported as published upstream (no conversion). Each file is pinned by SHA-256 to its source; every ONNX file passed onnx.checker and a CPU smoke run under onnxruntime with zero-filled inputs at the declared shapes:
| file | inputs | outputs | ms |
|---|---|---|---|
u2net.onnx |
input.1[1, 3, 320, 320] | 1959[1, 1, 320, 320], 1960[1, 1, 320, 320], 1961[1, 1, 320, 320], 1962[1, 1, 320, 320], 1963[1, 1, 320, 320], 1964[1, 1, 320, 320], 1965[1, 1, 320, 320] | 1050.6 |
