# DPT (large-sized model)

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. and first released in [this repository](https://github.com/isl-org/DPT). 

Disclaimer: The team releasing DPT did not write a model card for this model so this model card has been written by the Hugging Face team.

## Model description

DPT uses the Vision Transformer (ViT) as backbone and adds a neck + head on top for monocular depth estimation.

## Intended uses & limitations

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.

### How to use

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

```python
from transformers import DPTFeatureExtractor, DPTForDepthEstimation
import torch
import numpy as np
from PIL import Image
import requests

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

feature_extractor = DPTFeatureExtractor.from_pretrained("Intel/dpt-large")
model = DPTForDepthEstimation.from_pretrained("Intel/dpt-large")

# prepare image for the model
inputs = feature_extractor(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)
```
