Overview

We have released the code of CutFlip, which has been incorporated into the dataloader.py. Apart from the results shown in the article, we apply the CutFip to different monocular depth estimation algorithms on the KITTI dataset, such as BTS, TransDepth and Adabins,

We have released the complete code.

Datasets

You can prepare the datasets KITTI and NYUv2 according to here, and then modify the data path in the config files to your dataset locations.

Training

First download the pretrained encoder backbone from here, and then modify the pretrain path in the config files.
