The Fast Segment Anything Model (FastSAM) is a novel, real-time CNN-based solution for the Segment Anything task. This task is designed to segment any object within an image based on various possible user interaction prompts. FastSAM significantly reduces computational demands while maintaining competitive performance, making it a practical choice for a variety of vision tasks.

Source model

• Input shape: 640x640
• Number of parameters: 11.24M
• Model size: 45.0MB
• Output shape: 1x37x8400,1x32x160x160

When the user has fine-tuned the source model, the model conversion process must be performed again.

Users can refer to either of the following two methods to complete the model conversion:

• Using AIMO for model conversion: Click Model Conversion Reference in the Performance Reference section on the right to view the conversion steps.

• Using Qualcomm QNN for model conversion: Please refer to the Qualcomm QNN Documentation.

The model performance benchmarks and example code provided by Model Farm are all implemented based on the APLUX AidLite SDK.

For models in .bin format, you can use either of the following two inference engines to run inference on Qualcomm chips:

Inference using APLUX AidLite: please refer to the APLUX AidLite Developer Documentation

Inference using Qualcomm QNN: Please refer to the Qualcomm QNN Documentation

Inference Example Code

The inference example code is implemented using the AidLite SDK.
