MLRecogNet with TAO Deploy

To generate an optimized TensorRT engine, the MLRecogNet .onnx file, which is generated using tao export, is taken as an input to tao-deploy. Currently, MLRecogNet supports FP32, FP16 and INT8 data types.

For more information about training an MLRecogNet model, refer to the MLRecogNet training documentation.

Converting ONNX File into TensorRT Engine

Here is an example spec $TRT_GEN_SPEC for generating TensorRT engine from the exported MLRecogNet onnx model.

trt_config

The trt_config parameter provides options related to TensorRT generation.
