Marigold V2 Rethinks DiT for Depth Estimation, 16-26% AbsRel Gains on KITTI/ETH3D

Cohere_Labs · x · 2026-10-08

Cohere Labs' Open Science Community announced next week's sessions (Oct 12-16), headlined by Marigold V2: repurposing DiT-based image generation models into monocular depth estimators via single-step inference from pretrained flow-matching models, with a 2-stage fine-tuning protocol and a novel Sinkhorn-based loss. It improves AbsRel by 16-26% over prior best on KITTI and ETH3D, resolving fur, foliage, and hair-thin edges, and transfers to surface normals and intrinsic decomposition. A second session covers Semigroup-JEPA for zero-shot physics generalization.
