tensorflow-onnx VS mediapipe

The easiest way to transform the downloaded TensorFlow model to an ONNX model is to use the tool tf2onnx from https://github.com/onnx/tensorflow-onnx

But I found that there are limitation in practice. For instance, I found that the conversion of this model to ONNX fails when using tf2onnx.

They come in the form of tflite models, so I had to convert them to onnx. I used tf2onnx for converting the pose landmark model and tflite2tensorflow for converting the pose detection model. For improving performance, I had created a small script which modified the landmark models for supporting batch inference. This script is not included in the repository, but do tell me if you need it!

Today, we announce MediaPipe diffusion plugins, which enable controllable text-to-image generation to be run on-device. Expanding upon our prior work on GPU inference for on-device large generative models, we introduce new low-cost solutions for controllable text-to-image generation that can be plugged into existing diffusion models and their Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) variants.

You can just grab the TFLite version! https://github.com/google/mediapipe/blob/master/docs/solutions/models.md

I believe Google already released transformers under an apache 2 license with a patent grant:

I was going to say that I like the MediaPipe Selfie Segmentation model for doing this sort of thing in a web page, but I've just noticed (when getting the GitHub link[1]) that Google have marked the code as legacy[2] ... no idea if the new solution is better/easier to use[3].

For what it's worth, my CodePen using the old model is here: https://codepen.io/kaliedarik/pen/PopBxBM

I have used mediapipe very successfully in multiple projects and it's very easy to get running. You can choose from many different vision tasks including hand landmarks ( https://github.com/google/mediapipe/blob/master/docs/solutions/hands.md )

I found MediaPipe's Face Mesh and was impressed with how simple it was to get going, but it just gives you the landmark points and I've not gone any further yet.

We've trained ControlNet on a subset of the LAION-Face dataset using modified output from MediaPipe's face mesh annotator to provide a new level of control when generating images of faces.
