Video Depth Anything improves depth estimation for long videos

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed Video Depth Anything, a novel method for consistent depth estimation in super-long videos. Building upon the Depth Anything V2 model, the new approach incorporates an efficient spatial-temporal head and a temporal depth gradient loss to maintain consistency without relying on external geometric priors. This method is designed for videos exceeding several minutes and demonstrates state-of-the-art performance in zero-shot video depth estimation, offering models that can achieve real-time performance.
