Simplifying Diffusion Models: Fine-Tuning for Faster and More Accurate Depth Estimation

Simplifying Diffusion Models: Fine-Tuning for Faster and More Accurate Depth Estimation

Practical Solutions and Value of Simplifying Diffusion Models for Depth Estimation

Challenges in Monocular Depth Estimation

Monocular depth estimation (MDE) is crucial for various applications like image editing, scene reconstruction, and robotic navigation. However, it faces challenges due to scale distance ambiguity. Learning-based methods with robust semantic knowledge can provide accurate results.

Recent Advances in MDE

Recent developments include methods like Monocular depth estimation and Metric depth estimation for detailed representations. Surface normal estimation has evolved using deep learning. Diffusion models have been applied to geometry estimation, producing multi-view depth and normal maps.

Innovative Solution

Researchers introduced a fixed model that enhances efficiency in diffusion-based MDE, outperforming other models in speed and accuracy. End-to-end fine-tuning with task-specific losses improves performance significantly. This method works directly on Stable Diffusion, achieving state-of-the-art results.

Implementation and Evaluation

The method uses synthetic datasets for training and diverse benchmarks for evaluation in different scenarios. Utilizing existing checkpoints and hyperparameters, the models are trained efficiently for improved performance.

Key Findings

The fixed DDIM scheduler shows superior performance compared to multi-step denoising processes. End-to-end fine-tuning outperforms complex pipelines, providing accurate results in a single step. These findings challenge previous conclusions and lay the groundwork for future advancements in diffusion models.
