MMDeploy is an open-source deep learning model deployment toolset. It is
a part of the [OpenMMLab](https://openmmlab.com/) project.
+
+

+
+
### Major features
-- **OpenMMLab model support**
+- **Fully support OpenMMLab models**
- Models in OpenMMLab can be deployed with this project. Such as MMClassification, MMDetection, etc.
+ We provide a unified model deployment toolbox for the codebases in OpenMMLab. The supported codebases are listed as below, and more will be added in the future
+ - [x] MMClassification
+ - [x] MMDetection
+ - [x] MMSegmentation
+ - [x] MMEditing
+ - [x] MMOCR
-- **Multiple inference engine support**
+- **Multiple inference backends are available**
- Models can be exported and run in different backends. Such as ONNX Runtime, TensorRT, etc.
+ Models can be exported and run in different backends. The following ones are supported, and more will be taken into consideration
+ - [x] ONNX Runtime
+ - [x] TensorRT
+ - [x] PPLNN
+ - [x] ncnn
+ - [x] OpenVINO
-- **Model rewrite**
+- **Efficient and highly scalable SDK Framework by C/C++**
- Modules and functions used in models can be rewritten to meet the demand of different backends. It is easy to add new model support.
+ All kinds of modules in SDK can be extensible, such as `Transform` for image processing, `Net` for Neural Network inference, `Module` for postprocessing and so on
