DINO with TAO Deploy

To generate an optimized TensorRT engine, a DINO .onnx file, which is first generated using tao model dino export, is taken as an input to tao deploy dino gen_trt_engine. For more information about training a DINO model, refer to the DINO training documentation.

To convert the .onnx file, you can reuse the spec file from the tao model dino export command.

gen_trt_engine

The gen_trt_engine parameter defines TensorRT engine generation.
