Weather-Conditioned Depth Anything (DA‑W) is a new framework that enhances monocular depth estimation models, like the Depth Anything series, to perform robustly under adverse weather conditions such as fog, rain, snow, and low‑light. It achieves this by disentangling style from content: a Style Filter extracts weather‑specific embeddings from a curated mix of real and synthetic degradation data, which are then injected into the backbone via a lightweight, zero‑initialized adapter. The adapter is trained with pseudo‑label distillation and alignment, enabling a single unified model to adapt to diverse weather scenarios while preserving its generalization on clean data, and it achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance with an average 3.7% improvement in AbsRel on weather benchmarks.

The paper presents a foundation-guided auto‑annotation pipeline that improves standard autonomous driving object detectors in adverse weather. By benchmarking YOLOv8, Co‑DETR, and SAM3 on a custom dataset of 25 operational scenarios, the authors find SAM3 to be the most robust and use it offline to generate pseudo‑labels. Fine‑tuning YOLOv8 on these labels boosts overall mAP by 16.04% and yields significant gains in specific conditions such as Residential Direct Sunlight (32.73%) and Highway Fog (28.65%).
