OpenDepth: Repurposing Image Editing Priors for Robust Open-World Monocular Depth Estimation

arXiv:2610.17610v2 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recently, the integration of generative priors has revolutionized Monocular Depth Estimation (MDE), achieving state-of-the-art (SOTA) performance with remarkably high data efficiency. However, although methods based on Text-to-Image (T2I) models excel in general scenes, their efficacy degrades sharply when confronted with open-world environmental perturbations, such as illumination variations and adverse weather. Since T2I priors are optimized for semantic synthesis rather than preserving pixel-level structure, they struggle to decouple geometry
