## Installation

This model can be installed as a Python package via pip.

```bash
pip install "qai-hub-models[controlnet_quantized]"
```



## 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 on-device

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.controlnet_quantized.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.controlnet_quantized.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.controlnet_quantized.export
```

## How does this work?

This [export script](https://aihub.qualcomm.com/models/controlnet_quantized/qai_hub_models/models/ControlNet/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: **Upload compiled model**

Upload compiled models from `qai_hub_models.models.controlnet_quantized` on hub.
```python
import torch

import qai_hub as hub
from qai_hub_models.models.controlnet_quantized import Model

# Load the model
model = Model.from_precompiled()

model_textencoder_quantized = hub.upload_model(model.text_encoder.get_target_model_path())
model_unet_quantized = hub.upload_model(model.unet.get_target_model_path())
model_vaedecoder_quantized = hub.upload_model(model.vae_decoder.get_target_model_path())
model_controlnet_quantized = hub.upload_model(model.controlnet.get_target_model_path())
```


Step 2: **Performance profiling on cloud-hosted device**

After uploading compiled 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

# Device
device = hub.Device("Samsung Galaxy S23")
profile_job_textencoder_quantized = hub.submit_profile_job(
    model=model_textencoder_quantized,
    device=device,
)
profile_job_unet_quantized = hub.submit_profile_job(
    model=model_unet_quantized,
    device=device,
)
profile_job_vaedecoder_quantized = hub.submit_profile_job(
    model=model_vaedecoder_quantized,
    device=device,
)
profile_job_controlnet_quantized = hub.submit_profile_job(
    model=model_controlnet_quantized,
    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_textencoder_quantized = model.text_encoder.sample_inputs()
inference_job_textencoder_quantized = hub.submit_inference_job(
    model=model_textencoder_quantized,
    device=device,
    inputs=input_data_textencoder_quantized,
)
on_device_output_textencoder_quantized = inference_job_textencoder_quantized.download_output_data()

input_data_unet_quantized = model.unet.sample_inputs()
inference_job_unet_quantized = hub.submit_inference_job(
    model=model_unet_quantized,
    device=device,
    inputs=input_data_unet_quantized,
)
on_device_output_unet_quantized = inference_job_unet_quantized.download_output_data()

input_data_vaedecoder_quantized = model.vae_decoder.sample_inputs()
inference_job_vaedecoder_quantized = hub.submit_inference_job(
    model=model_vaedecoder_quantized,
    device=device,
    inputs=input_data_vaedecoder_quantized,
)
on_device_output_vaedecoder_quantized = inference_job_vaedecoder_quantized.download_output_data()

input_data_controlnet_quantized = model.controlnet.sample_inputs()
inference_job_controlnet_quantized = hub.submit_inference_job(
    model=model_controlnet_quantized,
    device=device,
    inputs=input_data_controlnet_quantized,
)
on_device_output_controlnet_quantized = inference_job_controlnet_quantized.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).




## 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` / `.bin` 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 or `.bin` context binary in an Android application.
