Researchers have developed FlexDepth, a novel family of self-supervised monocular depth estimation models designed for complex driving environments. This approach addresses limitations of existing models, which struggle with single-scale outputs and performance degradation in challenging conditions, while also being too complex for automotive edge devices. FlexDepth utilizes a two-stage training strategy to decouple static and dynamic elements and a Scale-Driven Decoder to efficiently fuse features based on scale size, achieving state-of-the-art results with minimal computational overhead. Its smallest variant, Flex-Nano, operates at 37.6 FPS on mobile platforms, offering real-time perception and strong generalization. AI
