JEPADepth framework enhances self-supervised monocular depth estimation

Researchers have developed JEPADepth, a novel self-supervised framework for monocular depth estimation that integrates a masked predictive representation learning objective inspired by Image Joint-Embedding Predictive Architectures (I-JEPA). This approach augments traditional photometric losses with a prediction loss in the representation space of a DINOv3 Vision Transformer encoder. The method demonstrates competitive performance against state-of-the-art transformer-based methods and surpasses strong CNN-based baselines on standard benchmarks like KITTI, Make3D, and Cityscapes, particularly in zero-shot transfer scenarios.
