DINO
Standalone install? If this session was not initialized by the TAO skill bank plugin, run the
tao-setupskill first (host preflight, credentials, cross-skill discovery).
DINO (DETR with Improved DeNoising Anchor Boxes) for 2D object detection. Transformer-based detector with denoising training, multi-scale features, and optional distillation support.
Uses pretrained backbone weights (e.g. ResNet-50 ImageNet). Set model.pretrained_backbone_path for backbone-only or train.pretrained_model_path for full model.
When To Use
Train, evaluate, export, distill, quantize, or run inference for a TAO DINO 2D object detector.
For TAO Deploy TensorRT actions (gen_trt_engine, TensorRT evaluate, and
TensorRT inference), read references/tao-deploy-dino.md first. Deploy spec templates live
in this skill's references/ folder with the spec_template_deploy_*.yaml
prefix.
