CenterNet-2D: Optimized for Qualcomm Devices
CenterNet-2D is machine learning model that detects objects by finding their center points.
This is based on the implementation of CenterNet-2D 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.

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 CenterNet-2D on GitHub for usage instructions.
