Depth Anything 3: How a Single ViT Achieves Metric 3D Reconstruction from Any Number of Images

Depth Anything 3: Recovering Metric 3D from Any Number of Images with One Vanilla ViT “ “Can a single, off-the-shelf vision transformer predict accurate, metric-scale depth and camera poses from one, ten or a thousand images—without ever seeing a calibration target?” Yes. Depth Anything 3 does exactly that, and nothing more. ” What problem is this article solving? Readers keep asking: “How does Depth Anything 3 manage to reconstruct real-world geometry with a single plain ViT, no task-specific heads, and no multi-task losses?” Below I unpack the architecture, training recipe, model zoo, CLI tricks and on-site lessons—strictly from the open-source …
