Depth Anything 3: DA3-SMALL#

Project Page Paper Demo # noqa: E501

Model Description#

DA3 Small model for multi-view depth estimation and camera pose estimation. Efficient foundation model with unified depth-ray representation.

PropertyValue
Model SeriesAny-view Model
Parameters0.08B
LicenseApache 2.0

Capabilities#

  • ✅ Relative Depth
  • ✅ Pose Estimation
  • ✅ Pose Conditioning

Quick Start#

Installation#
git clone https://github.com/ByteDance-Seed/depth-anything-3
cd depth-anything-3
pip install -e .
Basic Example#
import torch
from depth_anything_3.api import DepthAnything3

# Load model from Hugging Face Hub
device = torch.device("cuda" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu")
model = DepthAnything3.from_pretrained("depth-anything/da3-small")
model = model.to(device=device)

# Run inference on images
images = ["image1.jpg", "image2.jpg"]  # List of image paths, PIL Images, or numpy arrays
prediction = model.inference(
    images,
    export_dir="output",
    export_format="glb"  # Options: glb, npz, ply, mini_npz, gs_ply, gs_video
)

# Access results
print(prediction.depth.shape)        # Depth maps: [N, H, W] float32
print(prediction.conf.shape)         # Confidence maps: [N, H, W] float32
print(prediction.extrinsics.shape)   # Camera poses (w2c): [N, 3, 4] float32
print(prediction.intrinsics.shape)   # Camera intrinsics: [N, 3, 3] float32
Command Line Interface#
# Process images with auto mode
da3 auto path/to/images \
    --export-format glb \
    --export-dir output \
    --model-dir depth-anything/da3-small

# Use backend for faster repeated inference
da3 backend --model-dir depth-anything/da3-small
da3 auto path/to/images --export-format glb --use-backend

Model Details#

  • Developed by: ByteDance Seed Team
  • Model Type: Vision Transformer for Visual Geometry
  • Architecture: Plain transformer with unified depth-ray representation
  • Training Data: Public academic datasets only
Key Insights#

💎 A single plain transformer (e.g., vanilla DINO encoder) is sufficient as a backbone without architectural specialization. # noqa: E501

✨ A singular depth-ray representation obviates the need for complex multi-task learning.

Performance#

🏆 Depth Anything 3 significantly outperforms:

  • Depth Anything 2 for monocular depth estimation
  • VGGT for multi-view depth estimation and pose estimation

For detailed benchmarks, please refer to our paper. # noqa: E501

Limitations#

  • The model is trained on academic datasets and may have limitations on certain domain-specific images # noqa: E501
  • Performance may vary depending on image quality, lighting conditions, and scene complexity
