One concern that I have as an AI researcher when publishing code is that it can potentially be used in dual-use applications.
To solve this, we propose Civil Software Licenses. They prevent dual-use while being minimal in the restrictions they impose:

Presenting today at #CVPR poster 81.

Code is available at github.com/nianticlabs/...

Want to try it on an iPhone video? On Android? On any other sequence you have? We got you covered. Check the repo.

Presenting it now at #CVPR

Happy to be one of them

We focused on depth from videos and as you pointed we didn't train on datasets with different captures per scene.

Check the website: nianticlabs.github.io/mvsanywhere/
And the paper: arxiv.org/pdf/2503.22430
Code coming soon!

Great work with @mohamedsayed.bsky.social @mdfirman.bsky.social @guiggh.bsky.social D. Turmukhambetov @jcivera.bsky.social @oisinmacaodha.bsky.social @gbrostow.bsky.social J. Watson

💡Use case:

We show how the accurate and robust depths from MVSAnywhere serve to regularize gaussian splats, obtaining much cleaner scene reconstructions.

As MVSAnywhere is agnostic to the scene scale, this is plug-and-play for your splats!

🏆Results:

MVSAnywhere achieves state-of-the-art results on the Robust Multi-View Depth Benchmark, showing its strong generalization performance.

🧩Challenge: Varying Depth Scales & Unknown Ranges

🔹Most models require a known depth range to estimate the cost volume.
✅MVSAnywhere estimates an initial range based on camera scale and setup and refines it. It predicts at the same scale as the input cameras!

🧩Challenge: Domain Generalization

🔹Previous models struggle across different domains ( indoor🏠 vs outdoor🏞️).
✅MVSAnywhere uses a transformer architecture and is trained on a large array of varied synthetic datasets

🧩Challenge: Robustness to casually captured videos

🔹MVS methods completely rely on the matches of the cost volume (not working for low overlap & dynamic)
✅MVSAnywhere successfully combines strong single-view image priors with multi-view information from our cost volume

🔍Looking for a multi-view depth method that just works?

We're excited to share MVSAnywhere, which we will present at #CVPR2025. MVSAnywhere produces sharp depths, generalizes and is robust to all kind of scenes, and it's scale agnostic.
