# Add postprocessing support for custom model Source: [https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-70015-15B/topic/add-postprocessing.html](https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-70015-15B/topic/add-postprocessing.html) This section guides you in adding model postprocessing support in a Qualcomm IM SDK plugin, particularly in cases where the current Qualcomm IM SDK plugin does not support postprocessing for the model. In this example, we explain the required steps to add custom model postprocessing to the qtimlvdetection plugin. **Prerequisites** You need to confirm that qtimlvconverter supports preprocessing for the model. **Example – Adding YoloV8 module support to qtimlvdetection** 1. Write a new module in the qtimlvdetection plugin to enable postprocessing support. Refer to the following example code: [gst-plugin-mlvdetection/modules/ml-vdetection-yolov8.c · imsdk.lnx.2.0.0.r2-rel · CodeLinaro / le / platform / vendor / qcom-opensource / gst-plugins-qti-oss · GitLab](https://git.codelinaro.org/clo/le/platform/vendor/qcom-opensource/gst-plugins-qti-oss/-/blob/imsdk.lnx.2.0.0.r2-rel/gst-plugin-mlvdetection/modules/ml-vdetection-yolov8.c). 2. Write a new file for your custom model. In the model postprocessing module, the `gst_ml_module_process` function is responsible for executing all postprocessing operations. Recompile the plugin, using the instructions provided in [Compile and install Qualcomm IM SDK plugins](https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-70015-15B/topic/esdk-compile-qimsdk-plugins.html). 3. Add your new files in Cmakelists.txt. refer to the following example: [gst-plugin-mlvdetection/modules/CMakeLists.txt · imsdk.lnx.2.0.0.r2-rel · CodeLinaro / le / platform / vendor / qcom-opensource / gst-plugins-qti-oss · GitLab](https://git.codelinaro.org/clo/le/platform/vendor/qcom-opensource/gst-plugins-qti-oss/-/blob/imsdk.lnx.2.0.0.r2-rel/gst-plugin-mlvdetection/modules/CMakeLists.txt) 4. Recompile the reference application and execute it. See [compile reference apps using platform eSDK](https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-70015-15B/topic/compile-app-esdk.html) for instructions on how to compile reference applications with the eSDK.
