Properties

generateFromFrame()

generateFromFrame: (frameData, ...args) => any

Defined in: modules/BaseModule.ts:53

Process a camera frame directly for real-time inference.

This method is bound to a native JSI function after calling load(), making it worklet-compatible and safe to call from VisionCamera's frame processor thread.

Performance characteristics:

• Zero-copy path: When using frame.getNativeBuffer() from VisionCamera v5, frame data is accessed directly without copying (fastest, recommended).
• Copy path: When using frame.toArrayBuffer(), pixel data is copied from native to JS, then accessed from native code (slower, fallback).

Usage with VisionCamera:

const frameOutput = useFrameOutput({
  pixelFormat: 'rgb',
  onFrame(frame) {
    'worklet';
    // Zero-copy approach (recommended)
    const nativeBuffer = frame.getNativeBuffer();
    const result = model.generateFromFrame(
      {
        nativeBuffer: nativeBuffer.pointer,
        width: frame.width,
        height: frame.height,
      },
      ...args
    );
    nativeBuffer.release();
    frame.dispose();
  },
});

Parameters

frameData

Frame

Frame data object with either nativeBuffer (zero-copy) or data (ArrayBuffer)

args

...any[]

Additional model-specific arguments (e.g., threshold, options)

Returns

any

Model-specific output (e.g., detections, classifications, embeddings)

nativeModule

nativeModule: any = null

Defined in: modules/BaseModule.ts:16

Internal

Native module instance (JSI Host Object)

Inherited from

BaseModule.nativeModule

Methods

delete()

delete(): void

Defined in: modules/BaseModule.ts:81

Unloads the model from memory and releases native resources.

Always call this method when you're done with a model to prevent memory leaks.

Returns

void

forward()

forward(input, imageSize?, numSteps?, seed?): Promise<string>

Defined in: modules/computer_vision/TextToImageModule.ts:157

Runs the model to generate an image described by input, and conditioned by seed, performing numSteps inference steps. The resulting image, with dimensions imageSize×imageSize pixels, is saved as a PNG on the device and returned as a file:// URI. If generation is interrupted before completion, an empty string is returned.

Parameters

input

string

The text prompt to generate the image from.

imageSize?

number = 512

The desired width and height of the output image in pixels.

numSteps?

number = 5

The number of inference steps to perform.

seed?

number

An optional seed for random number generation to ensure reproducibility.

Returns

Promise<string>

A file:// URI pointing to the generated PNG, or an empty string if generation was interrupted.

---

forwardET()

protected forwardET(inputTensor): Promise<TensorPtr[]>

Defined in: modules/BaseModule.ts:62

Internal

Runs the model's forward method with the given input tensors. It returns the output tensors that mimic the structure of output from ExecuTorch.

Parameters

inputTensor

TensorPtr[]

Array of input tensors.

Returns

Promise<TensorPtr[]>

Array of output tensors.

Inherited from

BaseModule.forwardET

---

getInputShape()

getInputShape(methodName, index): Promise<number[]>

Defined in: modules/BaseModule.ts:72

Gets the input shape for a given method and index.

Parameters

methodName

string

method name

index

number

index of the argument which shape is requested

Returns

Promise<number[]>

The input shape as an array of numbers.

Inherited from

BaseModule.getInputShape

---

interrupt()

interrupt(): void

Defined in: modules/computer_vision/TextToImageModule.ts:175

Interrupts model generation. The model is stopped in the nearest step.

Returns

void

---

fromCustomModel()

static fromCustomModel(sources, onDownloadProgress?, inferenceCallback?): Promise<TextToImageModule>

Defined in: modules/computer_vision/TextToImageModule.ts:77

Creates a Text to Image instance with user-provided model binaries. Use this when working with a custom-exported diffusion pipeline. Internally uses 'custom' as the model name for telemetry.

Parameters

sources

An object containing the pipeline source paths.

decoderSource

ResourceSource

encoderSource

ResourceSource

schedulerSource

ResourceSource

tokenizerSource

ResourceSource

unetSource

ResourceSource

onDownloadProgress?

(progress) => void

Optional callback to monitor download progress, receiving a value between 0 and 1.

inferenceCallback?

(stepIdx) => void

Optional callback triggered after each diffusion step.

Returns

Promise<TextToImageModule>

A Promise resolving to a TextToImageModule instance.

Remarks

The native model contract for this method is not formally defined and may change between releases. Refer to the native source code for the current expected tensor interface.

fromModelName()

static fromModelName(namedSources, onDownloadProgress?): Promise<TextToImageModule>

Defined in: modules/computer_vision/TextToImageModule.ts:39

Creates a Text to Image instance for a built-in model.

Parameters

namedSources

An object specifying the model name, pipeline sources, and optional inference callback.
