For the latest release MiDaS 3.1, a technical report and video are available.
MiDaS was trained on up to 12 datasets (ReDWeb, DIML, Movies, MegaDepth, WSVD, TartanAir, HRWSI, ApolloScape, BlendedMVS, IRS, KITTI, NYU Depth V2) with
multi-objective optimization.
The original model that was trained on 5 datasets (MIX 5
in the paper) can be found here.
The figure below shows an overview of the different MiDaS models; the bubble size scales with number of parameters.
Setup
- Pick one or more models and download the corresponding weights to the
weights
folder:
MiDaS 3.1
- For highest quality: dpt_beit_large_512
- For moderately less quality, but better speed-performance trade-off: dpt_swin2_large_384
- For embedded devices: dpt_swin2_tiny_256, dpt_levit_224
- For inference on Intel CPUs, OpenVINO may be used for the small legacy model: openvino_midas_v21_small .xml, .bin
MiDaS 3.0: Legacy transformer models dpt_large_384 and dpt_hybrid_384
MiDaS 2.1: Legacy convolutional models midas_v21_384 and midas_v21_small_256
-
Set up dependencies:
conda env create -f environment.yaml conda activate midas-py310
optional
For the Next-ViT model, execute
git submodule add https://github.com/isl-org/Next-ViT midas/external/next_vit
For the OpenVINO model, install
pip install openvino
Usage
-
Place one or more input images in the folder
input
. -
Run the model with
python run.py --model_type <model_type> --input_path input --output_path output
where
<model_type>
is chosen from dpt_beit_large_512, dpt_beit_large_384, dpt_beit_base_384, dpt_swin2_large_384, dpt_swin2_base_384, dpt_swin2_tiny_256, dpt_swin_large_384, dpt_next_vit_large_384, dpt_levit_224, dpt_large_384, dpt_hybrid_384, midas_v21_384, midas_v21_small_256, openvino_midas_v21_small_256. -
The resulting depth maps are written to the
output
folder.
optional
- By default, the inference resizes the height of input images to the size of a model to fit into the encoder. This
size is given by the numbers in the model names of the accuracy table. Some models do not only support a single
inference height but a range of different heights. Feel free to explore different heights by appending the extra
command line argument
--height
. Unsupported height values will throw an error. Note that using this argument may decrease the model accuracy. - By default, the inference keeps the aspect ratio of input images when feeding them into the encoder if this is
supported by a model (all models except for Swin, Swin2, LeViT). In order to resize to a square resolution,
disregarding the aspect ratio while preserving the height, use the command line argument
--square
.
via Camera
If you want the input images to be grabbed from the camera and shown in a window, leave the input and output paths away and choose a model type as shown above:
python run.py --model_type <model_type> --side
The argument --side
is optional and causes both the input RGB image and the output depth map to be shown
side-by-side for comparison.
via Docker
-
Make sure you have installed Docker and the NVIDIA Docker runtime.
-
Build the Docker image:
docker build -t midas .
-
Run inference:
docker run --rm --gpus all -v $PWD/input:/opt/MiDaS/input -v $PWD/output:/opt/MiDaS/output -v $PWD/weights:/opt/MiDaS/weights midas
This command passes through all of your NVIDIA GPUs to the container, mounts the
input
andoutput
directories and then runs the inference.
via PyTorch Hub
The pretrained model is also available on PyTorch Hub
via TensorFlow or ONNX
See README in the tf
subdirectory.
Currently only supports MiDaS v2.1.
via Mobile (iOS / Android)
See README in the mobile
subdirectory.
via ROS1 (Robot Operating System)
See README in the ros
subdirectory.
Currently only supports MiDaS v2.1. DPT-based models to be added.

Improvement
The improvement in the above table is defined as the relative zero-shot error with respect to MiDaS v3.0
DPTL-384 and averaging over the datasets. So, if
Note that the improvements of 10% for MiDaS v2.0 → v2.1 and 21% for MiDaS v2.1 → v3.0 are not visible from the improvement column (Imp.) in the table but would require an evaluation with respect to MiDaS v2.1 Large384 and v2.0 Large384 respectively instead of v3.0 DPTL-384.

Applications
MiDaS is used in the following other projects from Intel Labs:
- ZoeDepth (code available here): MiDaS computes the relative depth map given an image. For metric depth estimation, ZoeDepth can be used, which combines MiDaS with a metric depth binning module appended to the decoder.
- LDM3D (Hugging Face model available here): LDM3D is an extension of vanilla stable diffusion designed to generate joint image and depth data from a text prompt. The depth maps used for supervision when training LDM3D have been computed using MiDaS.
