# Depth-Anything-V2-Large

## Introduction
Depth Anything V2 is trained from 595K synthetic labeled images and 62M+ real unlabeled images, providing the most capable monocular depth estimation (MDE) model with the following features:
- more fine-grained details than Depth Anything V1
- more robust than Depth Anything V1 and SD-based models (e.g., Marigold, Geowizard)
- more efficient (10x faster) and more lightweight than SD-based models
- impressive fine-tuned performance with our pre-trained models

## Installation

```bash
git clone https://huggingface.co/spaces/depth-anything/Depth-Anything-V2
cd Depth-Anything-V2
pip install -r requirements.txt
```

## Usage

Download the [model](https://huggingface.co/depth-anything/Depth-Anything-V2-Large/resolve/main/depth_anything_v2_vitl.pth?download=true) first and put it under the `checkpoints` directory.

```python
import cv2
import torch

from depth_anything_v2.dpt import DepthAnythingV2

model = DepthAnythingV2(encoder='vitl', features=256, out_channels=[256, 512, 1024, 1024])
model.load_state_dict(torch.load('checkpoints/depth_anything_v2_vitl.pth', map_location='cpu'))
model.eval()

raw_img = cv2.imread('your/image/path')
depth = model.infer_image(raw_img) # HxW raw depth map
```
