We don't benchmark Depth Anything V2.
It is an open-weight model from ByteDance under the Apache 2.0 license, and free for commercial use.
Depth Anything V2 is a monocular depth estimation model released in June 2024 by researchers at the University of Hong Kong and TikTok. It predicts a dense depth map from a single RGB image, enabling 3D-aware applications without the need for stereo cameras, LiDAR, or multi-view inputs. The model improves on the original Depth Anything through three modifications: replacing real labeled images with 595K high-quality synthetic images during teacher training, scaling up teacher model capacity, and using the stronger teacher to generate pseudo-labels on 62 million unlabeled real images used to train the student models. This pipeline reduces the depth prediction artifacts that can occur in reflective, transparent, and texture-poor regions. Compared to diffusion-based depth models such as Marigold, Depth Anything V2 runs more than 10× faster while producing more accurate predictions.
Depth Anything V2 is released under the Apache 2.0 license, so it's commercially usable out of the box: you can ship it in closed-source, commercial products, including self-hosted deployments, without paying a license fee or open-sourcing your code. The Depth Anything V2 license is permissive, so no separate commercial license is required.
Apache-2.0 grants an express patent license that terminates if you bring a patent claim over the work, and it disclaims warranties. Validate Depth Anything V2 on your own data before you depend on it in production.
Read the full Apache 2.0 license ↗This is the straightforward case: a permissive license is the best technical solution and you are free to deploy Depth Anything V2 commercially without open-sourcing your own code.
