Depth Anything V1

Depth Anything V1

Depth Anything V1 from TikTok / The University of Hong Kong: depth and geometry; Verified.

Edit this pageGitHubMarkdown

Depth Anything V1 is the foundation model for relative monocular depth that popularized large-scale unlabeled-data depth training. In this catalog both integration and runner status are verified: the in-tree pipeline exports relative depth and geometry artifacts, and the Studio route produced a visually validated nonblank depth map on 2026-07-10.

What it is for

Pick depth-anything-v1 for feed-forward geometry: views in, reconstruction / trajectory / point cloud out. Use it when you need the catalog 3D route rather than a depth-only prior.

It is published by TikTok / The University of Hong Kong.

Catalog tasks include depth, geometry, and monocular-depth-estimation. Documented modalities: image in, depth out.

Runtime contract

Optional input_path, grayscale, and operator_kwargs; artifacts depth-anything-v1.png.

CLI task profiles: default. WorldFoundry binds DepthAnything1Pipeline.

Family status: Verified.

A verified, dependable prior — good default for relative depth. For metric depth choose depth-anything-v2-prior or depth-anything-v3-prior instead.

In-tree Depth Anything V1 pipeline is registered for relative depth and geometry artifact export.

Running in WorldFoundry

Launch worldfoundry-eval run depth-anything-v1 --pipeline.task-profile default to write geometry. The command builder above switches --pipeline.task-profile among recorded tasks and still emits worldfoundry-eval run.

It runs in the unified environment worldfoundry-unified-cu128 (Python 3.11, CUDA 12.8).

Recorded weight repositories include LiheYoung/depth-anything-large-hf. Prepare the environment and check local assets with bash scripts/inference/prepare_model_infer.sh depth-anything-v1. Add --download to fetch missing public checkpoints.

Status: Verified.
