## Model Details: DPT-Hybrid (also known as MiDaS 3.0)

Dense Prediction Transformer (DPT) model trained on 1.4 million images for monocular depth estimation. 
It was introduced in the paper [Vision Transformers for Dense Prediction](https://arxiv.org/abs/2103.13413) by Ranftl et al. (2021) and first released in [this repository](https://github.com/isl-org/DPT). 
DPT uses the Vision Transformer (ViT) as backbone and adds a neck + head on top for monocular depth estimation.

This repository hosts the "hybrid" version of the model as stated in the paper. DPT-Hybrid diverges from DPT by using [ViT-hybrid](https://huggingface.co/google/vit-hybrid-base-bit-384) as a backbone and taking some activations from the backbone.

The model card has been written in combination by the Hugging Face team and Intel.

| Intended Use | Description |
| ----------- | ----------- | 
| Primary intended uses | You can use the raw model for zero-shot monocular depth estimation. See the [model hub](https://huggingface.co/models?search=dpt) to look for fine-tuned versions on a task that interests you. | 
| Primary intended users | Anyone doing monocular depth estimation | 
| Out-of-scope uses | This model in most cases will need to be fine-tuned for your particular task.  The model should not be used to intentionally create hostile or alienating environments for people.|

### How to use

Here is how to use this model for zero-shot depth estimation on an image:

```python
from PIL import Image
import numpy as np
import requests
import torch

from transformers import DPTImageProcessor, DPTForDepthEstimation

image_processor = DPTImageProcessor.from_pretrained("Intel/dpt-hybrid-midas")
model = DPTForDepthEstimation.from_pretrained("Intel/dpt-hybrid-midas", low_cpu_mem_usage=True)

url = "http://images.cocodataset.org/val2017/000000039769.jpg"
image = Image.open(requests.get(url, stream=True).raw)

# prepare image for the model
inputs = image_processor(images=image, return_tensors="pt")

with torch.no_grad():
    outputs = model(**inputs)
    predicted_depth = outputs.predicted_depth

# interpolate to original size
prediction = torch.nn.functional.interpolate(
    predicted_depth.unsqueeze(1),
    size=image.size[::-1],
    mode="bicubic",
    align_corners=False,
)

# visualize the prediction
output = prediction.squeeze().cpu().numpy()
formatted = (output * 255 / np.max(output)).astype("uint8")
depth = Image.fromarray(formatted)
depth.show()
```

Table 1. Comparison to the state of the art on monocular depth estimation. We evaluate zero-shot cross-dataset transfer according to the
protocol defined in [30]. Relative performance is computed with respect to the original MiDaS model [30]. Lower is better for all metrics. ([Ranftl et al., 2021](https://arxiv.org/abs/2103.13413))
