tao-train-fast-foundation-stereo

Real-time stereo depth estimation using FastFoundationStereo (FFS), the distilled bp2 commercial variant of FoundationStereo. Predicts disparity maps from stereo image pairs with ~10× lower latency than full FoundationStereo. Use when training, evaluating, exporting, or running inference for a TAO FastFoundationStereo (FFS) model. Trigger phrases include "train fast stereo", "real-time stereo disparity", "FastFoundationStereo", "distilled stereo depth".

# Depth Net Fast Stereo

> **Standalone install?** If this session was not initialized by the TAO skill bank plugin, run the `tao-setup` skill first (host preflight, credentials, cross-skill discovery).

Real-time stereo depth estimation using **FastFoundationStereo (FFS)** — the bp2 commercial distilled variant of FoundationStereo. Predicts disparity maps from rectified stereo image pairs with per-layer pruned widths for real-time inference.

The mono / stereo / fast-stereo skills share the unified TAO `depth_net` CLI; FFS is selected via `model.model_type: FastFoundationStereo`. FFS differs from `FoundationStereo` only in pruned per-layer widths and a serialized forward path; everything else (entrypoint, action verbs, dataset classes, deploy chain) is identical to `depth-net-stereo`.

For TAO Deploy TensorRT actions (`gen_trt_engine`, TensorRT `evaluate`, TensorRT `inference`), read `references/tao-deploy-fast-foundation-stereo.md` first. The deploy spec template lives at `references/spec_template_deploy.yaml`.

## When to Use

Use this skill to train, evaluate, export, or run inference for a TAO FastFoundationStereo model. Two supported use cases:
