# HRNetPose: Optimized for Qualcomm Devices

HRNet performs pose estimation in high-resolution representations.

This is based on the implementation of HRNetPose found [here](https://github.com/leoxiaobin/deep-high-resolution-net.pytorch).
This repository contains pre-exported model files optimized for Qualcomm® devices. You can use the [Qualcomm® AI Hub Models](https://github.com/qualcomm/ai-hub-models/blob/v0.58.0/src/qai_hub_models/models/hrnet_pose) library to export with custom configurations. More details on model performance across various devices, can be found [here](#performance-summary).

Qualcomm AI Hub Models uses [Qualcomm AI Hub Workbench](https://workbench.aihub.qualcomm.com) to compile, profile, and evaluate this model. [Sign up](https://myaccount.qualcomm.com/signup) to run these models on a hosted Qualcomm® device.

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

### Option 2: Export with Custom Configurations

Use the [Qualcomm® AI Hub Models](https://github.com/qualcomm/ai-hub-models/blob/v0.58.0/src/qai_hub_models/models/hrnet_pose) 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 [HRNetPose on GitHub](https://github.com/qualcomm/ai-hub-models/blob/v0.58.0/src/qai_hub_models/models/hrnet_pose) for usage instructions.
