Tao Train Foundation Stereo
If you're building 3D reconstruction pipelines from stereo camera pairs, this wraps NVIDIA's TAO FoundationStereo model for training, evaluation, and inference on disparity maps. It's AutoML-enabled by default, which is helpful if you don't want to hand-tune hyperparameters, though you can disable it. The workflow is typical TAO: annotate your stereo pairs, pick the right dataset class (Middlebury, KITTI, ETH3D, or GenericDataset), write a spec yaml, and run. One thing to watch: crop sizes need to match between training and export or you'll have shape mismatches downstream. The convert action generates annotation files if your data isn't already formatted as left-right-disparity triplets. Requires Docker with NVIDIA container toolkit.

Depth Net Stereo
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).
Stereo depth estimation using FoundationStereo architecture. Predicts disparity maps from stereo image pairs for 3D reconstruction.
Uses pretrained Depth Anything v2 and EdgeNeXt encoders. Set model.stereo_backbone.depth_anything_v2_pretrained_path and model.stereo_backbone.edgenext_pretrained_path.
The mono and stereo skills both invoke the unified TAO depth_net CLI inside the container; the mono/stereo family is selected via model.model_type (e.g., FoundationStereo).
PyT actions packaged by this model skill: train, evaluate, inference, export, and quantize. The PyT depth_net entrypoint does not accept a gen_trt_engine action in the current TAO image; build TensorRT engines only through the deploy workflow.
For TAO Deploy TensorRT actions (gen_trt_engine, TensorRT evaluate, and TensorRT inference), read references/tao-deploy-foundation-stereo.md first. The deploy spec template lives in this skill's references/spec_template_deploy.yaml.
