Ml Depth Pro
This project is a monocular depth estimation model and computer vision framework designed to calculate absolute distance and scale from single images. It functions as a metric depth estimator that generates high-resolution depth maps without requiring camera-specific focal length metadata.
The system utilizes a vision transformer architecture for feature extraction and zero-shot inference to produce metric-scale depth predictions. It includes specialized components for sharp-boundary depth refinement to maintain high-frequency edge details and prevent blurriness at object boundaries.
The repository also provides a depth map evaluation framework. This includes utilities for depth boundary assessment and accuracy metrics to measure the precision of estimated edges against ground truth data.
