## 🔆 Introduction

- [24-9-19] Add scripts for preparing benchmark datasets. 
- [24-9-18] Add point cloud sequence visualization.
- [24-9-14] 🔥🔥🔥 **DepthCrafter** is released now, have fun!


🤗 DepthCrafter can generate temporally consistent long depth sequences with fine-grained details for open-world videos, 
without requiring additional information such as camera poses or optical flow.

## 🎥 Visualization
We provide some demos of unprojected point cloud sequences, with reference RGB and estimated depth videos. 
Please refer to our [project page](https://depthcrafter.github.io) for more details.

## 🚀 Quick Start

### 🛠️ Installation
1. Clone this repo:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/Tencent/DepthCrafter.git
```
2. Install dependencies (please refer to [requirements.txt](requirements.txt)):
```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt
```

## 🤗 Model Zoo
[DepthCrafter](https://huggingface.co/tencent/DepthCrafter) is available in the Hugging Face Model Hub.

### 🏃‍♂️ Inference
#### 1. High-resolution inference, requires a GPU with ~26GB memory for 1024x576 resolution:
- Full inference (~0.6 fps on A100, recommended for high-quality results):

    ```bash
    python run.py  --video-path examples/example_01.mp4
    ```


- Fast inference through 4-step denoising and without classifier-free guidance （~2.3 fps on A100）:

    ```bash
    python run.py  --video-path examples/example_01.mp4 --num-inference-steps 4 --guidance-scale 1.0
    ```


#### 2. Low-resolution inference, requires a GPU with ~9GB memory for 512x256 resolution:

- Full inference (~2.3 fps on A100):

    ```bash
    python run.py  --video-path examples/example_01.mp4 --max-res 512
    ```

- Fast inference through 4-step denoising and without classifier-free guidance (~9.4 fps on A100):
    ```bash
    python run.py  --video-path examples/example_01.mp4  --max-res 512 --num-inference-steps 4 --guidance-scale 1.0
    ```

## 🤖 Gradio Demo
We provide a local Gradio demo for DepthCrafter, which can be launched by running:
```bash
gradio app.py
``` 

## 🤝 Contributing
- Welcome to open issues and pull requests.
- Welcome to optimize the inference speed and memory usage, e.g., through model quantization, distillation, or other acceleration techniques.
