#depthcues
DepthCues: a bench to evaluate monocular depth perception of large vision models via linear probe.
It consists of 6 depth related tasks to assess response to visual cues.
They test 20 pretrained models.
As expected DAv2, DUSt3R, DINOv2 do well, but SigLIP is not bad

The Blue Ridge Mountains along the Parkway! #MountainMonday #BlueSkyMonday #EastCoastKin #Knowledge #SensoryArt As a vision scientist, I love the shading of green to blue helping is appreciate the depth. #AtmosphericPerspective #depthcues #VisualPerception

We had a debate one year about how big of a tree we should get. A little advent silliness. #ArtAdventCalendar #EastCoastKin #Christmas #ChristmasTree #HolidaySeason #ForcedPerspective #SensationAndPerception #depthcues

Here is a wonderful use of Atmospheric Perspective to enhance the perception of depth and distance.

Here's one. I'm in Tennessee, and this is based on a photo that a co-worker took while on vacation in the Great Smoky Mountains, several hours east of me.

DepthCues: Evaluating Monocular Depth Perception in Large Vision Models

Do automated monocular depth estimation methods use similar visual cues to humans?

To learn more, stop by poster #405 in the evening session (17:00 to 19:00) today at #CVPR2025.

Interesting experiments! We explored similar cues (occlusion, horizon, elevation, etc.), albeit in real-world images, across various vision models (including mono-depth) in our recent paper: arxiv.org/abs/2411.17385
DepthCues: Evaluating Monocular Depth Perception in Large Vision Models
Large-scale pre-trained vision models are becoming increasingly prevalent, offering expressive and generalizable visual representations that benefit various downstream tasks. Recent studies on the eme...

To explore this question, we developed a new benchmark, DepthCues, to evaluate human-like monocular depth cues in large vision models. We show that strong performance on these cues emerges in more recent larger monocular depth models.
