Geometric Distillation from Rectified Stereo: Leveraging Epipolar Cues for Monocular Depth

arXiv:2607.15600v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Monocular depth foundation models have demonstrated remarkable generalization capabilities across diverse environments. However, they continue to struggle with metric depth estimation in diverse environments. This limitation stems from the inherent scale ambiguity of single-view inference, leading to misaligned scale predictions even when the relative geometry is accurate. Conversely, recent multi-view foundation models leverage cross-view cues to ...
