XLSR-Quantized: Optimized for Mobile Deployment

Aug 16, 2024 | Educational

In the world of mobile technology, the demand for efficient and effective image processing has soared. Meet XLSR-Quantized: a lightweight solution designed for real-time upscaling of images directly on your mobile device. This model showcases the marvels of AI by boosting image quality without consuming precious device resources.

What Does XLSR-Quantized Do?

XLSR-Quantized applies advanced algorithms for super-resolution, enhancing images at a remarkable speed. Think of it as a magician who sprinkles a bit of “abracadabra” to transform a low-resolution image into one that seems to pop off the screen!

To illustrate the workings of XLSR-Quantized, consider a painter, standing before a blank canvas (your image) and using a set of brushes (the model’s algorithms) to add details and colors (upscale the resolution). Each brush stroke represents an operation that adds precision, sharpness, and vibrancy to the final masterpiece (the enhanced image).

How to Install XLSR-Quantized

Installing XLSR-Quantized is as simple as pie! Follow these straightforward steps:

  • Open your terminal or command prompt.
  • Run the following command to install the model via pip:
pip install qai-hub-models[xlsr_quantized]

Configuring for Qualcomm® AI Hub

Once you have installed the model, you’ll need to configure the Qualcomm® AI Hub:

  • Sign in to the Qualcomm® AI Hub using your Qualcomm® ID.
  • Navigate to Account – Settings – API Token to get your API token.
  • Use the following command to configure your client:
qai-hub configure --api_token API_TOKEN

For more information on setting up, check out the documentation.

Running the Demo

The package includes a demo to showcase its capabilities. To run the demo, use the following command:

python -m qai_hub_models.models.xlsr_quantized.demo

If you prefer working in a Jupyter Notebook or Google Colab, simply replace the above command with:

%run -m qai_hub_models.models.xlsr_quantized.demo

Using XLSR-Quantized on Cloud-Hosted Devices

You can also harness the power of XLSR-Quantized on cloud-hosted Qualcomm® devices. Execute the following command:

python -m qai_hub_models.models.xlsr_quantized.export

Deploying to Android

XLSR-Quantized can be deployed on Android using either TensorFlow Lite or QNN runtimes. For deployment guides, refer to:

Troubleshooting Ideas

If you encounter challenges during installation or execution, consider the following:

  • Ensure that you have the correct version of Python and pip installed.
  • Verify that your Qualcomm® ID is valid and that you are connected to the internet.
  • For issues related to model performance, check the XLSR-Quantized model’s details.
