## Installation
This model can be installed as a Python package via pip.
```bash
pip install "qai-hub-models[real_esrgan_x4plus]"
```
## Configure Qualcomm® AI Hub to run this model on a cloud-hosted device
Sign-in to [Qualcomm® AI Hub](https://app.aihub.qualcomm.com/) with your
Qualcomm® ID. Once signed in navigate to `Account -> Settings -> API Token`.
With this API token, you can configure your client to run models on the cloud
hosted devices.
```bash
qai-hub configure --api_token API_TOKEN
```
Navigate to [docs](https://app.aihub.qualcomm.com/docs/) for more information.
## Demo off target
The package contains a simple end-to-end demo that downloads pre-trained
weights and runs this model on a sample input.
```bash
python -m qai_hub_models.models.real_esrgan_x4plus.demo
```
The above demo runs a reference implementation of pre-processing, model
inference, and post processing.
**NOTE**: If you want running in a Jupyter Notebook or Google Colab like
environment, please add the following to your cell (instead of the above).
```
%run -m qai_hub_models.models.real_esrgan_x4plus.demo
```
### Run model on a cloud-hosted device
In addition to the demo, you can also run the model on a cloud-hosted Qualcomm®
device. This script does the following:
* Performance check on-device on a cloud-hosted device
* Downloads compiled assets that can be deployed on-device for Android.
* Accuracy check between PyTorch and on-device outputs.
```bash
python -m qai_hub_models.models.real_esrgan_x4plus.export
```
```
Profiling Results
------------------------------------------------------------
Real-ESRGAN-x4plus
Device : Samsung Galaxy S23 (13)
Runtime : TFLITE
Estimated inference time (ms) : 68.8
Estimated peak memory usage (MB): [3, 6]
Total # Ops : 1028
Compute Unit(s) : NPU (1028 ops)
```
## How does this work?
This [export script](https://aihub.qualcomm.com/models/real_esrgan_x4plus/qai_hub_models/models/Real-ESRGAN-x4plus/export.py)
leverages [Qualcomm® AI Hub](https://aihub.qualcomm.com/) to optimize, validate, and deploy this model
on-device. Lets go through each step below in detail:
Step 1: **Compile model for on-device deployment**
To compile a PyTorch model for on-device deployment, we first trace the model
in memory using the `jit.trace` and then call the `submit_compile_job` API.
```python
import torch
import qai_hub as hub
from qai_hub_models.models.real_esrgan_x4plus import
# Load the model
# Device
device = hub.Device("Samsung Galaxy S23")
```
Step 2: **Performance profiling on cloud-hosted device**
After compiling models from step 1. Models can be profiled model on-device using the
`target_model`. Note that this scripts runs the model on a device automatically
provisioned in the cloud. Once the job is submitted, you can navigate to a
provided job URL to view a variety of on-device performance metrics.
```python
profile_job = hub.submit_profile_job(
model=target_model,
device=device,
)
```
Step 3: **Verify on-device accuracy**
To verify the accuracy of the model on-device, you can run on-device inference
on sample input data on the same cloud hosted device.
```python
input_data = torch_model.sample_inputs()
inference_job = hub.submit_inference_job(
model=target_model,
device=device,
inputs=input_data,
)
on_device_output = inference_job.download_output_data()
```
With the output of the model, you can compute like PSNR, relative errors or
spot check the output with expected output.
**Note**: This on-device profiling and inference requires access to Qualcomm®
AI Hub. [Sign up for access](https://myaccount.qualcomm.com/signup).
## Run demo on a cloud-hosted device
You can also run the demo on-device.
```bash
python -m qai_hub_models.models.real_esrgan_x4plus.demo --on-device
```
**NOTE**: If you want running in a Jupyter Notebook or Google Colab like
environment, please add the following to your cell (instead of the above).
```
%run -m qai_hub_models.models.real_esrgan_x4plus.demo -- --on-device
```
## Deploying compiled model to Android
The models can be deployed using multiple runtimes:
- TensorFlow Lite (`.tflite` export): [This
tutorial](https://www.tensorflow.org/lite/android/quickstart) provides a
guide to deploy the .tflite model in an Android application.
- QNN (`.so` export ): This [sample
app](https://docs.qualcomm.com/bundle/publicresource/topics/80-63442-50/sample_app.html)
provides instructions on how to use the `.so` shared library in an Android application.
