# Download source code for development
The eSDK (extensible SDK) needs to be setup to develop
application/plugin code. See the [Qualcomm Intelligent Multimedia Software Development Kit (IM SDK) Quick Start Guide](https://docs.qualcomm.com/bundle/publicresource/topics/80-70020-51/introduction.html)
for instructions on setting up the eSDK and downloading and compiling the source code.
The following pre-/postprocessing ML plugins are available with
the Qualcomm IM SDK. Use these plugins to develop your own use case.
| **Plugin** | **Functionality** |
| --- | --- |
| qtimlvconverter | Transforms incoming video buffers into neural-network tensors
while performing required format conversion and resizing. |
| qtimlvclassification | Performs postprocessing of output tensors for classification use
cases. |
| qtimlvdetection | Performs postprocessing of output tensors for detection use
cases. |
| qtimlvsegmentation | Performs postprocessing of output tensors for pixel-level use
cases, like image segmentation, depth-map, etc. |
| qtimlvpose | Performs postprocessing of output tensors for pose estimation
use cases. |
| qtimlvsuperresolution | Performs postprocessing of the output tensors for video super
resolution use cases. |
The Qualcomm IM SDK, supports the following use cases and related models.
| **Use cases supported by Qualcomm IM SDK** | **Supported Models** |
| --- | --- |
| Classification | Models like Mobilenet. Currently Qualcomm AI Hub has 11
classification models supported. New models will keep getting
added to AI Hub. |
| Detection | Models like ssd-mobilenet, yolov5, yolo-nas, and yolov8 |
| Segmentation | Models like deeplabv3\_resnet and ffnet |
| Pose detection | Models like posenet\_mobilenet |
| Super resolution | Models like QuickSRNet, XLSR, etc. |
Note
A list of verified models from Qualcomm AI Hub is available
in a [Integrate an AI Hub model in an application](https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-70020-15B/topic/integrate-ai-hub-models.html).
You can use many other models with similar postprocessing
requirements, however it’s recommended to verify postprocessing
support in the relevant Qualcomm IM SDK plugins before integrating
your own model.
