Researchers have developed two new approaches to improve self-supervised monocular depth estimation for driving scenarios. FlexDepth introduces a flexible family of models with a scale-driven decoder and a two-stage training strategy to handle static and dynamic elements independently, achieving state-of-the-art performance with minimal computational overhead. DrivingDepth, on the other hand, focuses on correcting the geometry-scale conflict in depth estimation by using sparse LiDAR data as prompts to calibrate a frozen foundation model, preserving dense visual geometry while achieving superior metric accuracy and consistency.
