• Abstract: We introduce NimbleD, an efficient self-supervised monocular depth estimation learning framework that incorporates supervision from pseudo-labels generated by a large vision model. This framework does not require camera intrinsics, enabling large-scale pre-training on publicly available videos. Our straightforward yet effective learning strategy significantly enhances the performance of fast and lightweight models without introducing any overhead, allowing them to achieve performance comparable to state-of-the-art self-supervised monocular depth estimation models. This advancement is particularly beneficial for virtual and augmented reality applications requiring low latency inference.

  This paper tackles the challenges of self-supervised monocular depth estimation in indoor scenes caused by large rotation between frames and low texture. We obtain coarse camera poses from monocular sequences through multi-view geometry to deal with the former. To soften the effect of the low texture, we combine the global reasoning of vision transformers with an overfitting-aware, iterative self-distillation mechanism.

  Self-supervised monocular depth estimation has shown impressive results in static scenes. It relies on the multi-view consistency assumption for training networks, however, that is violated in dynamic object regions. We introduce an external pretrained monocular depth estimation model for generating single-image depth prior. Our model can predict sharp and accurate depth maps, even when training from monocular videos of highly-dynamic scenes.
