Researchers have developed SS3D, a self-supervised pretraining pipeline for estimating 3D information from monocular video. This end-to-end system jointly predicts depth, ego-motion, and intrinsics in a single pass. The pipeline is trained on a large dataset derived from YouTube-8M, demonstrating strong zero-shot transfer capabilities and improved performance over existing self-supervised methods. The team has also released the pretrained model checkpoint and associated code. AI
