K. Hayashi developed ONNX Runtime inference capability for GFPGAN in the axinc-ai/ailia-models repository, enabling users to select between ailia Net and ONNX Runtime via a new feature flag. The work involved integrating ONNX Runtime with Python, optimizing inference by correcting numeric precision from double to float32, and implementing defensive programming to prevent face detection errors when ONNX is enabled. By addressing both feature expansion and error handling, Hayashi improved deployment flexibility and runtime stability. The project demonstrated skills in computer vision, model deployment, and inference optimization, reflecting a focused and practical approach to cross-framework machine learning engineering.

Month 2024-11: Delivered GFPGAN ONNX Runtime inference capability and hardened ONNX usage to support broader deployment scenarios. Key outcomes include introducing a --onnx flag to select between the ailia Net and ONNX Runtime for GFPGAN inference, correcting precision handling in the ONNX path from double to float32, and implementing a safety guard that asserts when ONNX is enabled to prevent face_det runtime errors. These changes expand deployment options, improve stability, and reduce risk in production. Technologies/skills demonstrated include ONNX Runtime integration, feature flag design (--onnx), numeric precision management, and defensive programming for safer cross-framework operation.
