Depth estimation with DepthAnything and OpenVINO

Depth Anything is a highly practical solution for robust monocular depth estimation. Without pursuing novel technical modules, this project aims to build a simple yet powerful foundation model dealing with any images under any circumstances. The framework of Depth Anything is shown below. it adopts a standard pipeline to unleashing the power of large-scale unlabeled images.

More details about model can be found in project web page, paper, and official repository

In this tutorial we will explore how to convert and run DepthAnything using OpenVINO. An additional part demonstrates how to run quantization with NNCF to speed up the model.

Notebook Contents

This notebook demonstrates Monocular Depth Estimation with the DepthAnything in OpenVINO.

The tutorial consists of following steps:

Install prerequisites
Load and run PyTorch model inference
Convert Model to Openvino Intermediate Representation format
Run OpenVINO model inference on single image
Run OpenVINO model inference on video
Optimize Model
Compare results of original and optimized models
Launch interactive demo

Installation Instructions

This is a self-contained example that relies solely on its own code.
We recommend running the notebook in a virtual environment. You only need a Jupyter server to start. For details, please refer to Installation Guide.
