SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires docker, nvidia-container-toolkit, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the training, evaluation, export, and inference processes for NVIDIA TAO SegFormer models, streamlining the workflow for semantic segmentation tasks.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Model Training: Automates the training process for SegFormer models, including data augmentation, optimization, and checkpointing.
  • Evaluation: Evaluates trained models on a given dataset, providing metrics such as accuracy and MIoU.
  • Export: Exports trained models in various formats, including ONNX for inference.
  • Inference: Performs inference on new data using trained models.
  • Use Case: Suppose you need to train a SegFormer model for semantic segmentation on a custom dataset. This Skill allows you to define the dataset, configure the training parameters, and automatically perform the training, evaluation, and export of the model.

Quick Start

To train a SegFormer model on your dataset, use the tao-train-segformer skill with the following command:

tao-train-segformer train --dataset segment.root_dir <path_to_dataset> --num_epochs 10
