# CodeFormer

This version of CoderFormer has been converted to run on the Axera NPU using **w8a16** quantization.

This model has been optimized with the following LoRA: 

Compatible with Pulsar2 version: 5.0-patch1

## Convert tools links:

For those who are interested in model conversion, you can try to export axmodel through 

- [The repo of AXera Platform](https://github.com/AXERA-TECH/CodeFormer.axera), which you can get the detail of guide

- [Pulsar2 Link, How to Convert ONNX to axmodel](https://pulsar2-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/pulsar2/introduction.html) 


## Support Platform

- AX650
  - [M4N-Dock(爱芯派Pro)](https://wiki.sipeed.com/hardware/zh/maixIV/m4ndock/m4ndock.html)
  - [M.2 Accelerator card](https://axcl-docs.readthedocs.io/zh-cn/latest/doc_guide_hardware.html)

```


#### Inference with AX650 Host, such as M4N-Dock(爱芯派Pro)

运行人脸修复demo（需输入人脸图片）
```
root@ax650 ~/codeformer #python3 run_axmodel.py --inputs_path ./images/face --model_path ./coderformer.axmodel
