Monocular depth estimation is a challenging task that predicts the pixel-wise depth from a single 2D image. We propose DiffusionDepth, a new approach that reformulates monocular depth estimation as a denoising diffusion process. It learns an iterative denoising process to ‘denoise’ random depth distribution into a depth map with the guidance of monocular visual conditions. The process is performed in the latent space encoded by a dedicated depth encoder and decoder. Instead of diffusing ground truth (GT) depth, the model learns to reverse the process of diffusing the refined depth of itself into random depth distribution. This self-diffusion formulation overcomes the difficulty of applying generative models to sparse GT depth scenarios.

Updates:

• The pretrained model of KITTI dataset is released.
• Rank 4th (SLog), 2th (iRMSE), 3th (sqErrorRel) on on the official KITTI leaderboard

Dependencies

Especially thanks to nlspn with there excellent work. This code base borrow borrow frameworks to accelerate implementation.

Our released implementation is tested on:

• Ubuntu 16.04 / Ubuntu 18.04
• Python 3.8.x (conda-build 22.9.0)
• PyTorch 1.10 / torchvision 1.11.0
• Tensorboard 2.3
• NVIDIA CUDA 11.4
• NVIDIA Apex
• 8x NVIDIA GTX 3090 / 8x NVIDIA A100 RTX GPUs
• mmdet3d

Please see the official instruction to install mmdet3d. Apologize for any inconvenience caused by version incompatibilities (as mentioned in the issues) when installing this library. To address the issue, please check out mmdet3d==0.15.0 and then execute a local installation. Basically it's better to clone the repo to install rather than use conda.

$ cd DiffusionDepth
$ pip install -r requirements.txt

The requirements.txt might be slight different on different machines. If you can't find a specific version, please try pip install related version first.

NVIDIA Apex

NVIDIA Apex is a good choice for multi-GPU training to save GPU memory. However we only use option "O0" to train the work. Wellcome to discuss with us about half precision performance. Apex can be installed as follows:

$ cd PATH_TO_INSTALL
$ git clone https://github.com/NVIDIA/apex
$ cd apex
$ pip install -v --no-cache-dir --global-option="--cpp_ext" --global-option="--cuda_ext" ./ 

Dataset

We used two datasets for training and evaluation. Please also see nlspn with there excellent work on data processing.

NYU Depth V2 (NYUv2)

We used preprocessed NYUv2 HDF5 dataset provided by Fangchang Ma.

$ cd PATH_TO_DOWNLOAD
$ wget http://datasets.lids.mit.edu/sparse-to-dense/data/nyudepthv2.tar.gz
$ tar -xvf nyudepthv2.tar.gz

After preparing the dataset, you should generate a json file containing paths to individual images.

$ cd DiffusionDepth/utils
$ python generate_json_NYUDepthV2.py --path_root PATH_TO_NYUv2

After that, you will get a data structure as follows:

nyudepthv2

KITTI Depth Prediction (KITTI DP)

KITTI DP dataset is available at the KITTI Website. We should choose depth prediction for re-implementation.

For color images, KITTI Raw dataset is also needed, which is available at the KITTI Raw Website. Please follow the official instructions (cf., devkit/readme.txt in each dataset) for preparation. After downloading datasets, you should first copy color images, poses, and calibrations from the KITTI Raw to the KITTI Depth dataset.

$ cd DiffusionDepth/utils
$ python prepare_KITTI_DP.py --path_root_dc PATH_TO_Dataset --path_root_raw PATH_TO_KITTI_RAW

$ cd DiffusionDepth/utils

# For Train / Validation
$ python generate_json_KITTI_DP.py --path_root PATH_TO_KITTI

# For Online Evaluation Data
$ python generate_json_KITTI_DP.py --path_root PATH_TO_KITTI --name_out kitti_dp_test.json --test_data

Training

Notes, recomended to download pretrain from Swin transformer official website and modify the backbone file src/model/backbone/swin.py replacing the pretrain path to your local copy.

During the training, tensorboard logs are saved under the experiments directory. To run the tensorboard:

$ cd DiffusionDepth/experiments
$ tensorboard --logdir=. --bind_all

The tensorboard visualization includes metric curves and depth map visualization as shown below.
