• 2024-01-25: Support video depth visualization. An online demo for video is also available.
• 2024-01-23: The new ControlNet based on Depth Anything is integrated into ControlNet WebUI and ComfyUI's ControlNet.
• 2024-01-23: Depth Anything ONNX and TensorRT versions are supported.
• 2024-01-22: Paper, project page, code, models, and demo (HuggingFace, OpenXLab) are released.

If you need other features, please first check existing community supports.

• Relative depth estimation:

  Our foundation models listed here can provide relative depth estimation for any given image robustly. Please refer here for details.

• Metric depth estimation

  We fine-tune our Depth Anything model with metric depth information from NYUv2 or KITTI. It offers strong capabilities of both in-domain and zero-shot metric depth estimation. Please refer here for details.

• Better depth-conditioned ControlNet

  We re-train a better depth-conditioned ControlNet based on Depth Anything. It offers more precise synthesis than the previous MiDaS-based ControlNet. Please refer here for details. You can also use our new ControlNet based on Depth Anything in ControlNet WebUI or ComfyUI's ControlNet.

• Downstream high-level scene understanding

  The Depth Anything encoder can be fine-tuned to downstream high-level perception tasks, e.g., semantic segmentation, 86.2 mIoU on Cityscapes and 59.4 mIoU on ADE20K. Please refer here for details.

Here we compare our Depth Anything with the previously best MiDaS v3.1 BEiT_L-512 model.

Please note that the latest MiDaS is also trained on KITTI and NYUv2, while we do not.

We highlight the best and second best results in bold and italic respectively (better results: AbsRel $\downarrow$ , $\delta_1 \uparrow$).

We provide three models of varying scales for robust relative depth estimation:

Note that the V100 and A100 inference time (without TensorRT) is computed by excluding the pre-processing and post-processing stages, whereas the last column RTX4090 (with TensorRT) is computed by including these two stages (please refer to Depth-Anything-TensorRT).

You can easily load our pre-trained models by:

from depth_anything.dpt import DepthAnything

encoder = 'vits' # can also be 'vitb' or 'vitl'
depth_anything = DepthAnything.from_pretrained('LiheYoung/depth_anything_{:}14'.format(encoder))

Depth Anything is also supported in transformers. You can use it for depth prediction within 3 lines of code (credit to @niels).

from depth_anything.dpt import DepthAnything

model_configs = {
    'vitl': {'encoder': 'vitl', 'features': 256, 'out_channels': [256, 512, 1024, 1024]},
    'vitb': {'encoder': 'vitb', 'features': 128, 'out_channels': [96, 192, 384, 768]},
    'vits': {'encoder': 'vits', 'features': 64, 'out_channels': [48, 96, 192, 384]}
}

encoder = 'vitl' # or 'vitb', 'vits'
depth_anything = DepthAnything(model_configs[encoder])
depth_anything.load_state_dict(torch.load(f'./checkpoints/depth_anything_{encoder}14.pth'))

git clone https://github.com/LiheYoung/Depth-Anything
cd Depth-Anything
pip install -r requirements.txt

python run.py --encoder <vits | vitb | vitl> --img-path <img-directory | single-img | txt-file> --outdir <outdir> [--pred-only] [--grayscale]

Arguments:

• --img-path: you can either 1) point it to an image directory storing all interested images, 2) point it to a single image, or 3) point it to a text file storing all image paths.
• --pred-only is set to save the predicted depth map only. Without it, by default, we visualize both image and its depth map side by side.
• --grayscale is set to save the grayscale depth map. Without it, by default, we apply a color palette to the depth map.

For example:

python run.py --encoder vitl --img-path assets/examples --outdir depth_vis

If you want to use Depth Anything on videos:

python run_video.py --encoder vitl --video-path assets/examples_video --outdir video_depth_vis

To use our gradio demo locally:

python app.py

You can also try our online demo.

If you want to use Depth Anything in your own project, you can simply follow run.py to load our models and define data pre-processing.

from depth_anything.dpt import DepthAnything
from depth_anything.util.transform import Resize, NormalizeImage, PrepareForNet

import cv2
import torch
from torchvision.transforms import Compose

encoder = 'vits' # can also be 'vitb' or 'vitl'
depth_anything = DepthAnything.from_pretrained('LiheYoung/depth_anything_{:}14'.format(encoder)).eval()

transform = Compose([
    Resize(
        width=518,
        height=518,
        resize_target=False,
        keep_aspect_ratio=True,
        ensure_multiple_of=14,
        resize_method='lower_bound',
        image_interpolation_method=cv2.INTER_CUBIC,
    ),
    NormalizeImage(mean=[0.485, 0.456, 0.406], std=[0.229, 0.224, 0.225]),
    PrepareForNet(),
])

image = cv2.cvtColor(cv2.imread('your image path'), cv2.COLOR_BGR2RGB) / 255.0
image = transform({'image': image})['image']
image = torch.from_numpy(image).unsqueeze(0)

# depth shape: 1xHxW
depth = depth_anything(image)

Easily use Depth Anything through transformers within 3 lines of code! Please refer to these instructions (credit to @niels).

Note: If you encounter KeyError: 'depth_anything', please install the latest transformers from source:

pip install git+https://github.com/huggingface/transformers.git

from transformers import pipeline
from PIL import Image

image = Image.open('Your-image-path')
pipe = pipeline(task="depth-estimation", model="LiheYoung/depth-anything-small-hf")
depth = pipe(image)["depth"]
