YamNet Example

This document explains how to use the QAI AppBuilder Python API to perform inference with the YamNet audio classification model using the Qualcomm® Hexagon™ Processor (NPU).

Supported Devices

DeviceSoC
Fogwise® AIRbox Q900QCS9075

Install QAI AppBuilder

tip
  1. Please install QAI AppBuilder according to the QAI AppBuilder Installation Guide.

  2. Please configure the ADSP environment variables according to Configuring ADSP Environment Variables.

Run Example

Install Dependencies

Device
pip3 install requests tqdm qai-hub py3_wget opencv-python torch torchvision resampy soundfile

Run the Script

  • Navigate to the example directory

    Device
    cd ai-engine-direct-helper/samples/python
  • Prepare the input audio. The following audio is used as an example:
