The Midas Touch for Metric Depth

ArXi:2605.11578v1 Announce Type: new Recent advances have markedly improved the cross-scene generalization of relative depth estimation, yet its practical applicability remains limited by the absence of metric scale, local inconsistencies, and low computational efficiency. To address these issues, we present \emph{\textbf{M}idas \textbf{T}ouch for \textbf{D}epth} (MTD), a mathematically interpretable approach that converts relative depth into metric depth using only extremely sparse 3D data.
