PoseNet MobileNet 0.75 Float
Model Overview
A PoseNet model using MobileNet architecture with 75% width multiplier for efficient body pose estimation.
The PoseNet MobileNet 0.75 Float model is developed and optimized for the Synaptics Astra™ SL1680 processor NPU and SL1640 processor NPU.
Model Features
- Model Type: Pose Detection
- Input Size: various resolutions based on deployment
- Output Size: various resolutions based on deployment
ℹ️ INFO: This model is ready to use on Synaptics Astra Machina boards. An NPU optimized version of the PoseNet MobileNet 0.75 Float is installed in the Astra SDK Image.
Deployment on Synaptics Astra SL1600 Series
This particular model is compiled for Synaptics Astra SL1680 processor. You can find this model already pre-installed on Machina™ Dev kit with SL1680 processor.
You can also find the same model compiled for Synaptics Astra SL1640 processor pre-installed on Machina™ Dev kit with SL1640 processor.
Synaptics Astra Machina™ is Modular developer kit for Astra SL-Series of high-performance IoT processors with integrated Synaptics Veros™ wireless connectivity solution. Learn more here
Application binary
The synap_cli_od command line application allows running object detection models like PoseNet MobileNet 0.75 Float.
Inputs:
- The converted synap model (
.synapextension) - Optionally, a confidence threshold for detected objects
- One or more images (jpeg or png format)
Outputs:
- A list of detected objects for each input image, including:
- Bounding box
- Class index
- Confidence score
Command line usage on Astra SL1680 and SL1640:
MODELS=/usr/share/synap/models/
cd $MODELS/object_detection/body_pose/model/posenet_mobilenet_075/posenet_mobilenet_075_float
synap_cli_od -m model.synap input_image.jpg
Example output on SL1680:
Input image: input_image.jpg (w = 640, h = 480, c = 3)
Detection time: null ms
# Score Class Position Size Description
0 0.95 0 94,193 62,143 person
ℹ️ INFO: JPEG/PNG input images are resized in software to the network input tensor size.
💡NOTE: Ensure the output format is defined during model conversion. Missing format details can result in errors such as "Failed to initialize detector".
Optimize and Customize the model
Advanced users may wish to customize the source model and recompile it for the Synaptics Astra NPU. Please refer to the Bring Your Own Model section for more information.
