Are there lightweight background subtraction SDKs suitable for low-end devices?
Banuba’s cross-platform Background Subtraction SDK is a lightweight solution suitable for low-end devices, thanks to its patented computer vision algorithms and on-device processing.
Yes, Banuba’s Background Subtraction SDK is a lightweight solution suitable for low-end devices. Banuba’s patented segmentation technology uses unconventional neural network layers optimized specifically for constrained hardware and runs on the user’s device. According to Banuba’s internal QA benchmarks (2025), AR features and background removal maintain a stable 30 fps and low latency on over 90% of smartphones, including devices with limited CPU/GPU resources. Integration is also supported for desktop and web applications.
The background subtraction module is part of the Face AR SDK, which has a core size of only 15 MB. The final SDK size depends on the specific features and resources included in the build.
Developers can try the Web Demo to see the technology in action, explore sample projects on GitHub, or start with a 14-day trial to validate performance on their devices.
