PXDepth is a monocular depth estimation model that separates global context modeling from pixel-level depth prediction. It uses a large-patch Vision Transformer to capture scene context and a pixel-space predictor with Context‑Modulated Pixel Transformer blocks to preserve high‑resolution spatial details. The approach maintains fine structures and sharp boundaries while achieving competitive global depth accuracy in zero‑shot benchmarks.
Dual-pixel (DP) imaging enables metric depth estimation from a single camera using sub-aperture disparity. However, the extremely small effective baseline limits disparity observability, leading to structural degradation and depth failure in textureless, low-contrast, or downsampled regions.
arXiv:2601. 22054v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Scaling has powered recent advances in vision foundation models, yet extending this paradigm to metric depth estimation remains challenging due to heterogeneous sensor noise, camera-dependent biases, and metric ambiguity in noisy cross-source 3D data.
3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) has achieved remarkable success in real-time novel view synthesis, yet it suffers from severe overfitting under sparse-view settings due to insufficient geometric constraints. While recent methods introduce monocular depth priors to mitigate this, they inherently struggle with scale ambiguity and cross-view inconsistency, leading to defective geometry.
