Model Details: DPT-Large (also known as MiDaS 3.0)

Dense Prediction Transformer (DPT) model trained on 1.4 million images for monocular depth estimation. It was introduced in the paper Vision Transformers for Dense Prediction by Ranftl et al. (2021) and first released in this repository. DPT uses the Vision Transformer (ViT) as backbone and adds a neck + head on top for monocular depth estimation. model image

The model card has been written in combination by the Hugging Face team and Intel.

Intended UseDescription
Primary intended usesYou can use the raw model for zero-shot monocular depth estimation. See the model hub to look for fine-tuned versions on a task that interests you.
Primary intended usersAnyone doing monocular depth estimation
Out-of-scope usesThis model in most cases will need to be fine-tuned for your particular task. The model should not be used to intentionally create hostile or alienating environments for people.

How to use

The easiest is leveraging the pipeline API:

from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline(task="depth-estimation", model="Intel/dpt-large")
result = pipe(image)
result["depth"]

In case you want to implement the entire logic yourself, here's how to do that for zero-shot depth estimation on an image:

from transformers import DPTImageProcessor, DPTForDepthEstimation
import torch
import numpy as np
from PIL import Image
import requests

url = "http://images.cocodataset.org/val2017/000000039769.jpg"
image = Image.open(requests.get(url, stream=True).raw)

processor = DPTImageProcessor.from_pretrained("Intel/dpt-large")
model = DPTForDepthEstimation.from_pretrained("Intel/dpt-large")

# prepare image for the model
inputs = processor(images=image, return_tensors="pt")

with torch.no_grad():
    outputs = model(**inputs)
    predicted_depth = outputs.predicted_depth

# interpolate to original size
prediction = torch.nn.functional.interpolate(
    predicted_depth.unsqueeze(1),
    size=image.size[::-1],
    mode="bicubic",
    align_corners=False,
)

# visualize the prediction
output = prediction.squeeze().cpu().numpy()
formatted = (output * 255 / np.max(output)).astype("uint8")
depth = Image.fromarray(formatted)

For more code examples, we refer to the documentation.

Training and Evaluation DataDescription
DatasetsThe dataset is called MIX 6, and contains around 1.4M images. The model was initialized with ImageNet-pretrained weights.
MotivationTo build a robust monocular depth prediction network
Preprocessing"We resize the image such that the longer side is 384 pixels and train on random square crops of size 384. ... We perform random horizontal flips for data augmentation." See Ranftl et al. (2021) for more details.

Table 1. Comparison to the state of the art on monocular depth estimation. We evaluate zero-shot cross-dataset transfer according to the protocol defined in [30]. Relative performance is computed with respect to the original MiDaS model [30]. Lower is better for all metrics. (Ranftl et al., 2021)

Ethical ConsiderationsDescription
DataThe training data come from multiple image datasets compiled together.
Human lifeThe model is not intended to inform decisions central to human life or flourishing. It is an aggregated set of monocular depth image datasets.
MitigationsNo additional risk mitigation strategies were considered during model development.
Risks and harmsThe extent of the risks involved by using the model remain unknown.
Use cases-
Caveats and Recommendations
Users (both direct and downstream) should be made aware of the risks, biases and limitations of the model. There are no additional caveats or recommendations for this model.
