Research Innovation: Researchers have developed "Depth Anything," a foundational model for MDE that extracts high-quality depth information from images. The model cleverly leverages large-scale unlabeled data for better depth estimation and utilizes labeled and unlabeled data to create a self-learning pipeline. Key Features: ✨ Uses large-scale unlabeled data for better depth estimation ✨ Self-learning pipeline with labeled and unlabeled data ✨ Leverages rich semantic priors from pre-trained encoders for better scene understanding Evaluation and Results: The model outperforms the latest MiDaS model significantly across extensive scenes and on several unseen datasets. It leads to superior results on MDE and semantic segmentation tasks. Conclusion: “Depth Anything” is a cost-effective solution for robust MDE, showing potential for various visual perception tasks. It challenges the model with a tougher optimization target for additional knowledge, leading to better performance and zero-shot estimation capabilities.
