## Model Description

DA3 Large model for multi-view depth estimation and camera pose estimation. Foundation model with unified depth-ray representation.

| Property | Value |
|----------|-------|
| **Model Series** | Any-view Model |
| **Parameters** | 0.35B |
| **License** | CC BY-NC 4.0 |



## Capabilities

- βœ… Relative Depth
- βœ… Pose Estimation
- βœ… Pose Conditioning

## Quick Start

### Installation

```bash
git clone https://github.com/ByteDance-Seed/depth-anything-3
cd depth-anything-3
pip install -e .
```

### Basic Example

```python
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-large")
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

```bash
# Process images with auto mode
da3 auto path/to/images \
    --export-format glb \
    --export-dir output \
    --model-dir depth-anything/da3-large

# Use backend for faster repeated inference
da3 backend --model-dir depth-anything/da3-large
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

πŸ’Ž 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

πŸ† 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](https://depth-anything-3.github.io).  # 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
