DA360 model enhances 360-degree depth estimation with scale invariance

Researchers have developed DA360, a panoramic adaptation of the Depth Anything V2 model, to improve 360-degree depth estimation. This new framework leverages the existing DAV2 model's zero-shot generalization capabilities and incorporates a lightweight adaptation process. DA360 learns a per-image shift from the ViT class token for scale-invariant supervision and integrates circular padding into the DPT decoder to eliminate seam artifacts, resulting in more accurate 3D point clouds and improved spatial coherence.
