Depth Anything V2 Core ML Models

Depth Anything V2 was introduced in the paper of the same name by Lihe Yang et al. It uses the same architecture as the original Depth Anything release, but uses synthetic data and a larger capacity teacher model to achieve much finer and robust depth predictions. The original Depth Anything model was introduced in the paper Depth Anything: Unleashing the Power of Large-Scale Unlabeled Data by Lihe Yang et al., and was first released in this repository.

Model description

Depth Anything V2 leverages the DPT architecture with a DINOv2 backbone.

The model is trained on ~600K synthetic labeled images and ~62 million real unlabeled images, obtaining state-of-the-art results for both relative and absolute depth estimation.

Evaluation - Variants

Variant Parameters Size (MB) Weight precision Act. precision abs-rel error abs-rel reference
small-original (PyTorch) 24.8M 99.2 Float32 Float32
DepthAnythingV2SmallF32 24.8M 99.2 Float32 Float32 0.0072 small-original
DepthAnythingV2SmallF16 24.8M 49.8 Float16 Float16 0.0089 small-original

Evaluated on 512 landscape images from the COCO dataset with aspect ratio similar to 4:3. Images were streched to a fixed size of 518x396, and the groundtruth corresponds to the results from the PyTorch model running on CUDA with float32 precision.

Evaluation - Inference time

The following results use the small-float16 variant.
