# Lotus: Diffusion-based Visual Foundation Model for High-quality Dense Prediction

<!-- Provide a quick summary of what the model is/does. -->
- This model belongs to the family of official Lotus models. 
- Compared to the [previous version](https://huggingface.co/jingheya/lotus-depth-d-v1-0), this model is trained in disparity space (inverse depth), achieving better performance and more stable video depth estimation.
