FlowMoDE: Coarse-to-fine Flow Matching for Detail-aware Sim-to-Real Monocular Depth Estimation

FlowMoDE introduces a coarse‑to‑fine flow‑matching framework for monocular depth estimation that balances efficiency and detail reconstruction. The method first decodes coarse depth conditioned on diffused features from a pre‑trained semantic encoder, then refines fine structural patterns with expanded decoding layers. Trained only on a synthetic indoor dataset, FlowMoDE achieves a 14.1% lower relative error and a 9.9% lower Chamfer distance compared to state‑of‑the‑art methods across five real‑world indoor and outdoor datasets, and demonstrates strong generalization to realistic robotic scenes.

OpenDepth: Repurposing Image Editing Priors for Robust Open-World Monocular Depth Estimation

OpenDepth repurposes Image-to-Image (I2I) editing priors to improve monocular depth estimation in open-world conditions. By aligning shallow features in a Diffusion Transformer and adding a joint RGB reconstruction task, the method decouples environmental style from geometry, enabling robust depth inference across varied lighting and weather. The approach achieves new state‑of‑the‑art performance on standard and extreme weather benchmarks, maintaining structural integrity in zero‑shot settings.
