DIODE is a dense indoor and outdoor depth dataset, comprising over 25,000 high-resolution (768x1024) RGBD images from both indoor and outdoor environments, captured using a consistent, high-accuracy FARO Focus S350 laser scanner. This dataset uniquely offers empirical depth return densities of 99.6% indoors and 66.9% outdoors with ±1mm precision, enabling the training of single models that generalize more effectively across diverse scenes for monocular depth estimation.

Key insights

  • A unified, high-fidelity sensor suite is crucial for collecting diverse indoor and outdoor depth data that enables the training of generalizable depth estimation models.
  • Dense and accurate depth information across varying ranges and environments can be captured and processed to support sophisticated 2.5D and 3D vision tasks.
  • Training a single monocular depth estimation model on a combined indoor and outdoor dataset (DIODE/All) leads to better overall generalization across both domains compared to training on domain-specific subsets.
