# Drone-axera

This version of **Drone-axera** has been converted to run on the Axera NPU using **w8a16** quantization. It is trained with yolo11s/yolo26s to detect drones.

## Supported Classes

This model is trained to detect drones in our life with one label:
1. **Drone**

Compatible with Pulsar2 version: 5.2.
