ControlNet-Canny: Optimized for Qualcomm Devices

On-device, high-resolution image synthesis from text and image prompts. ControlNet guides Stable-diffusion with provided input image to generate accurate images from given input prompt.

This is based on the implementation of ControlNet-Canny 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.
