The paper introduces Epipolar Distillation (EpiDistill), a method that transfers scale‑aware geometric priors from multi‑view models to monocular depth foundation models using Rectified Stereo Tokens. By preserving epipolar attention patterns, the single‑view model maintains geometric consistency without needing multi‑view inputs during inference. Experiments show significant improvements in zero‑shot metric depth estimation on challenging datasets such as ETH3D and DIODE, and the approach consistently boosts performance of state‑of‑the‑art ViT‑based models like UniDepthV2 and DepthPro.

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.
