Movenet: Optimized for Qualcomm Devices

Movenet performs pose estimation on human images.

This is based on the implementation of Movenet 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.

Getting Started

There are two ways to deploy this model on your device:

Option 1: Download Pre-Exported Models

Below are pre-exported model assets ready for deployment.

Runtime	Precision	Chipset	SDK Versions	Download
ONNX	float	Universal	QAIRT 2.45, ONNX Runtime 1.27.1	Download
ONNX	w8a16_mixed_int16	Universal	QAIRT 2.45, ONNX Runtime 1.27.1	Download
QNN_DLC	float	Universal	QAIRT 2.45	Download
QNN_DLC	w8a16_mixed_int16	Universal	QAIRT 2.45	Download
TFLITE	float	Universal	QAIRT 2.45	Download

For more device-specific assets and performance metrics, visit Movenet on Qualcomm® AI Hub.

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 Movenet on GitHub for usage instructions.
