## Abstract
We propose a novel concept of iterative elastic bins for the classification-regression-based MDE. The proposed IEBins aims to search for high-quality depth by progressively optimizing the search range, which involves multiple stages and each stage performs a finer-grained depth search in the target bin on top of its previous stage. To alleviate the possible error accumulation during the iterative process, we utilize a novel elastic target bin to replace the original target bin, the width of which is adjusted elastically based on the depth uncertainty.

## Installation
```
conda create -n iebins python=3.8
conda activate iebins
conda install pytorch=1.10.0 torchvision cudatoolkit=11.1
pip install matplotlib, tqdm, tensorboardX, timm, mmcv, open3d
```
## Datasets
You can prepare the datasets KITTI and NYUv2 according to [here](https://github.com/cleinc/bts/tree/master/pytorch) and download the SUN RGB-D dataset from [here](https://rgbd.cs.princeton.edu/), and then modify the data path in the config files to your dataset locations.
## Training
First download the pretrained encoder backbone from [here](https://github.com/microsoft/Swin-Transformer), and then modify the pretrain path in the config files. If you want to train the KITTI_Official model, first download the pretrained encoder backbone from [here](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1qjDnMwmEz0k0XWh7GP2aNPGiAjvOPF_5/view?usp=drive_link), which is provided by [MIM](https://github.com/SwinTransformer/MIM-Depth-Estimation).
Training the NYUv2 model:
```
python iebins/train.py configs/arguments_train_nyu.txt
```
Training the KITTI_Eigen model:
```
python iebins/train.py configs/arguments_train_kittieigen.txt
```
Training the KITTI_Official model:
```
python iebins_kittiofficial/train.py configs/arguments_train_kittiofficial.txt
```
## Evaluation
Evaluate the NYUv2 model:
```
python iebins/eval.py configs/arguments_eval_nyu.txt
```
Evaluate the NYUv2 model on the SUN RGB-D dataset:
```
python iebins/eval_sun.py configs/arguments_eval_sun.txt
```
Evaluate the KITTI_Eigen model:
```
python iebins/eval.py configs/arguments_eval_kittieigen.txt
```
To generate KITTI Online evaluation data for the KITTI_Official model:
```
python iebins_kittiofficial/test.py --data_path path to dataset --filenames_file ./data_splits/kitti_official_test.txt --max_depth 80 --checkpoint_path path to pretrained checkpoint --dataset kitti --do_kb_crop
```
## Qualitative Depth and Point Cloud Results
You can download the qualitative depth results of [IEBins](https://arxiv.org/abs/2309.14137), [NDDepth](https://arxiv.org/abs/2309.10592), [NeWCRFs](https://openaccess.thecvf.com/content/CVPR2022/html/Yuan_Neural_Window_Fully-Connected_CRFs_for_Monocular_Depth_Estimation_CVPR_2022_paper.html), [PixelFormer](https://openaccess.thecvf.com/content/WACV2023/html/Agarwal_Attention_Attention_Everywhere_Monocular_Depth_Prediction_With_Skip_Attention_WACV_2023_paper.html), [AdaBins](https://openaccess.thecvf.com/content/CVPR2021/html/Bhat_AdaBins_Depth_Estimation_Using_Adaptive_Bins_CVPR_2021_paper.html) and [BTS](https://arxiv.org/abs/1907.10326) on the test sets of NYUv2 and KITTI_Eigen from [here](https://pan.baidu.com/s/1zaFe40mwpQ5cvdDlLZRrCQ?pwd=vfxd) and download the qualitative point cloud results of IEBins, NDDepth, NeWCRFS, PixelFormer, AdaBins and BTS on the NYUv2 test set from [here](https://pan.baidu.com/s/1WwpFuPBGBUaSGPEdThJ6Rw?pwd=n9rw).
If you want to derive these results by yourself, please refer to the test.py.
If you want to perform inference on a single image, run:
```
python iebins/inference_single_image.py --dataset kitti or nyu --image_path path to image --checkpoint_path path to pretrained checkpoint --max_depth 80 or 10
```
Then you can acquire the qualitative depth result.
