+# BiRefNet Portrait - TensorRT
+
+Fast background removal for portrait images using BiRefNet with NVIDIA TensorRT acceleration.
+
+## Features
+
+- **5.3x speedup** over PyTorch (RTX 3060, 1024x1024)
+- **123ms** median inference time with TensorRT FP16
+- Simple CLI interface
+- Python API for programmatic usage
+
+## Requirements
+
+- CUDA 12.0+
+- TensorRT 10.x
+- Python 3.8+
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+### CLI
+
+Process a single image:
+
+```bash
+python -m rmbg.cli process input.jpg -o output/
+```
+
+Process a directory:
+
+```bash
+python -m rmbg.cli process input_folder/ -o output/
+```
+
+Options:
+
+```bash
+python -m rmbg.cli process input.jpg -o output/ --verbose --warmup
+```
+
+- `--verbose, -v`: Show detailed timing information
+- `--warmup, -w`: Warmup backend before processing (benchmark mode)
+- `--size, -s`: Input size (default: 1024)
+- `--format`: Output format: png, jpg, webp (default: png)
+
+### Python API
+
+```python
+from rmbg.tools import Pipeline
+
+# Create pipeline
+pipeline = Pipeline(backend="tensorrt", size=1024)
+
+# Process single image
+result = pipeline.run("input.jpg", output_path="output/")
+
+# Process directory
+results = pipeline.run("input_folder/", output_path="output/")
+
+# Cleanup
+pipeline.unload()
+```
+
+### Advanced Usage
+
+```python
+from rmbg.tools import BackgroundRemover
+
+# Direct background remover access
+remover = BackgroundRemover(backend_name="tensorrt")
+
+from PIL import Image
+image = Image.open("input.jpg").convert('RGB')
+result = remover.process(image)
+result.save("output.png")
+
+remover.unload()
+```
+
+## Model
+
+- **Architecture**: BiRefNet (Bilateral Reference Network)
+- **Input**: RGB images, resized to 1024x1024
+- **Output**: PNG with transparent background
+- **Format**: TensorRT engine (.trt)
+- **Precision**: FP16
+
+## Performance
+
+| Runtime       | Median | FPS | Speedup  |
+|---------------|--------|-----|----------|
+| TensorRT FP16 | 123ms  | 8.1 | **5.3x** |
+| PyTorch       | 653ms  | 1.5 | 1.0x     |
+
+Tested on RTX 3060, CUDA 12.0, TensorRT 10.8
