Purpose of this repository

"The 3D shows you a window into reality; the higher frame rate takes the glass out of the window"
— James Cameron

Researchers, if you have found your way here, please consider developing a new Stereo Video Conversion model based on MiniMax H3.

Awesome Stereo Video Conversion

The following list includes all Stereo Video Conversion methods from the last 19 months, from 1 April 2025 to 12 October 2026. This list was created because there is a significant problem with public access to the latest Stereo Video Conversion models, which makes it difficult for researchers to compare their work with the current state of the art and to use the same test set. Consequently, this also makes it difficult to present a single ranking that showcases all of the best models.

Awesome Synthetic RGB-D Image Datasets for Training HD Video Depth Estimation Models

Although video depth estimation models should be trained mainly on synthetic RGB-D video datasets I decided to add two synthetic RGB-D image datasets because of their unique features.

	Dataset	Venue	Resolution	Unique features
1	SynthHuman📌 Human faces 😍		384×512	The dataset contains 98040 samples feature the face, 99976 sample feature the full body and 99992 samples feature the upper body. DAViD trained on this dataset alone achieved better depth estimation results than Depth Anything V2 Large, Depth Pro and even Sapiens-2B on the Goliath-Face test set. See the results in Table 1.
2	MegaSynth		512×512	Huge size: 700K scenes and the incredible improvement in depth estimation results of the fine-tuned Depth Anything V2 ViT-B model on MegaSynth and evaluated on Hypersim. See the results in Table 6.

Awesome Synthetic RGB-D Video Datasets for Training and Testing HD Video Depth Estimation Models

The following list contains only synthetic RGB-D datasets in which at least some of the images can be composited into a video sequence of at least 32 frames. The minimum number of frames was chosen on the basis of the ablation studies shown in Table 5 by the Video Depth Anything researchers.

Most datasets contain ready-to-use video sequences of appropriately numbered images in individual folders, but in the case of the PLT-D3 dataset, images from at least two folders have to be combined to make a longer video sequence and in the case of the ClaraVid dataset, images have to be arranged in the correct order to make a 32-frame video sequence, for example in the order given in Appendix 4.

Researchers, if you are going to use the following list to select datasets to train your models check their quality very carefully and choose the best ones. I have only visually checked a few of them and have marked on the list 2 datasets to check particularly carefully and 2 datasets that in my opinion are not suitable for training video depth estimation models. I have given the reasons for such markings in the same Appendix 4.

In selecting the best datasets, comparisons of their quality can be very helpful, such as in Table 9, Table 6, another Table 6 for depth estimation models and TABLE V plus TABLE IV for stereo matching models, although a similar technique can also be used for depth estimation models.

📝 Note 2: A high rank of the Pixel-Perfect Video Depth model in this ranking does not guarantee that this model is suitable for practical applications, see https://github.com/gangweix/pixel-perfect-depth/issues/27. We are waiting for this model to be fixed and evaluated using temporal stability metrics.

📝 Note 2: Do not use the SYNTHIA-Seqs dataset for training HD video depth estimation models! The depth maps in this dataset do not match the corresponding RGB images. This is particularly evident in the example of tree leaves:
<your-data-path>/SYNTHIA-SEQS-01-SPRING/Depth/Stereo_Left/Omni_F/000071.png
<your-data-path>/SYNTHIA-SEQS-01-SPRING/RGB/Stereo_Left/Omni_F/000071.png.
📝 Note 3: Do not use the DigiDogs dataset for training HD video depth estimation models! The depth maps in this dataset do not match the corresponding RGB images. See the objects behind the campfire, the shifting position of the vegetation on the left and the clear banding on the depth map:
<your-data-path>/DigiDogs2024_full/09_22_2022/00054/images/img_00012.tiff.
📝 Note 4: Check before use the SynDrone dataset for training HD video depth estimation models! The depth maps in this dataset have large white areas of unknown depth, which should not happen with a synthetic dataset. Example depth map:
<your-data-path>/Town01_Opt_120_depth/Town01_Opt_120/ClearNoon/height20m/depth/00031.png.
📝 Note 5: Check before use the Aria Synthetic Environments dataset for training HD video depth estimation models! The depth maps in this dataset have large white areas of unknown depth, which should not happen with a synthetic dataset. Example depth map:
<your-data-path>/75/depth/depth0000109.png.
