ZoeDepth produces metric depth maps from single images. It works across indoor and outdoor scenes without needing camera calibration or stereo input.
About
ZoeDepth estimates depth from a single image without needing stereo pairs or depth sensors. It produces metric (absolute) depth maps rather than just relative depth, which means the output values correspond to actual distances in meters.
What you can do with ZoeDepth
- 3D scene understanding — convert flat photos into depth-aware representations
- Image-to-3D pipelines — use depth maps as input for 3D reconstruction or NeRF workflows
- Robotics and AR — estimate real-world distances from camera images
- Video effects — create parallax, bokeh, or fog effects based on scene depth
ZoeDepth combines relative depth estimation with metric depth fine-tuning, giving it strong generalization across indoor and outdoor scenes.
