Depthformer : Multiscale Vision Transformer For Monocular Depth Estimation With Local Global Information Fusion

10 Jul 2022arXiv:2207.04535archive 2025-07-28

Ashutosh Agarwal, Chetan Arora

Attention-based models such as transformers have shown outstanding performance on dense prediction tasks, such as semantic segmentation, owing to their capability of capturing long-range dependency in an image. However, the benefit of transformers for monocular depth prediction has seldom been explored so far. This paper benchmarks various transformer-based models for the depth estimation task on an indoor NYUV2 dataset and an outdoor KITTI dataset. We propose a novel attention-based architecture, Depthformer for monocular depth estimation that uses multi-head self-attention to produce the multiscale feature maps, which are effectively combined by our proposed decoder network. We also propose a Transbins module that divides the depth range into bins whose center value is estimated adaptively per image. The final depth estimated is a linear combination of bin centers for each pixel. Transbins module takes advantage of the global receptive field using the transformer module in the encoding stage. Experimental results on NYUV2 and KITTI depth estimation benchmark demonstrate that our proposed method improves the state-of-the-art by 3.3%, and 3.3% respectively in terms of Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE).

Syntology Ran 1 of 2 code samples harvested from 1 repository linked to this paper; 1 has no recorded run. Of those that ran: 1 ran · our draft was wrong.

By repository: official repository: 2 samples from 1 repository, 1 ran. The run record, sample by sample. “Ran” means executed on a synthesized input, not that the code is correct or reproduces the paper.

Repository list and official/mentioned flags are the archive's, frozen 2025-07-28. Reachability, where shown, is from one Syntology probe window (2026-09-16 to 2026-09-18); repositories not probed show nothing. GitHub stars are not tracked.

Licence: 2 of the 2 samples are pointer only, meaning Syntology does not serve that copy's text. This page shows no code text for any sample; each one links to its file in the repository.

Harvested from ashutosh1807/depthformer. “Ran” means the sample executed on a synthesized input. It does not mean the output is correct, and nothing here reproduces the paper's results. “Honoured” and “violated” refer to a contract Syntology drafted from the code itself; “our draft was wrong” and “fixture could not drive it” are failures of Syntology's instrument, not of the code.

Each sample ends with its code_sha256, Syntology's identity for that exact code. An agent fetches the stored sample with Syntology's MCP tool get_code(code_sha256="…") (how to connect); click an identity to copy that call.

Repository labels, per sample. official repository: The archive marks this repository official for the paper. named in the paper: The archive records that the paper mentions this repository; it is not marked official. community (archive-listed): In the archive's code links for this paper, not marked official and not recorded as mentioned in the paper. found in paper text by Syntology: Syntology found this repository in the paper's own text; whether it is the authors' implementation is not asserted. community: Not in the archive's code links for this paper; a community repository Syntology harvested. Samples from a repository marked official are listed first. Licence labels name the repository's licence as recorded at harvest. “Pointer only” means Syntology does not serve that copy's text, for one of four reasons: no licence file was found; the licence was not identified; the licence is recorded as permissive but that copy's record is not marked cleared; or the licence is outside the permissive list Syntology serves text under (MIT, Apache-2.0, BSD and similar). Some licences outside that list permit redistribution, such as WTFPL, and GPL-3.0 under its conditions; they are simply not on the list. Hover a licence label for the reason. File links open the file on GitHub at the default branch, which may have changed since the harvest.
