Sharp Monocular Metric Depth in Less Than a Second
...Unlike many prior approaches, it does not require camera intrinsics or extra metadata, yet still outputs metric depth suitable for downstream 3D tasks. Apple highlights both accuracy and speed: the model can synthesize a ~2.25-megapixel depth map in around 0.3 seconds on a standard GPU, enabling near real-time applications. The repo and research page emphasize boundary fidelity and crisp geometry, addressing a common weakness in monocular depth where edges can blur. Community integrations (e.g., inference wrappers and UI nodes) have sprung up around the model, reflecting practical interest in video, AR, and generative pipelines. ...
