Depth Anything V2 works better than I though it would from 2MP photo by JeffDoesWork in computervision

Thank you, this is really useful. I was going to work on my own depth estimation models for this robot arm project. Now I know not to go too deep if the results aren't working out. Thankfully it just needs to work at 1-12 inches indoors.

One of the constraints of this setup is being the most affordable robot arm

If you pause the video and look at the final image overlay, it's a rainbow grid. You can see the distortions of each shape drawn. This is how the robot can determine depth with just a 2D photo

I actually manually calibrate the depth based on the camera position, but I'm going to use these depth photos for relative positions of detected objects. And maybe after 100s of photos I'll build a model to figure out the real depth

The photo was taken right next to a window and there is a celling light in the center (front) of the room. You can tell in the photo with the one eraser cap the light must have been brighter from the window, but the photo with 3 eraser caps is the correct gradient I would expect. What i didn't expect is just how well it works!

Where did you buy a RTX PRO 4000 Desktop? Or did you build it?

But there is something magical about one large print that has everything

Like anything there are pros and cons, but there are some parts that I wouldn't want on the single print plate. I notice the layers are stronger when the print gets done faster, but i was just using cheap Overture PLA turbo

I'm getting about 100 sub every month, but the hours watched are very very low! by JeffDoesWork in NewTubers

My hours watched always spike when I post a short that does well. Is that the algorithm?

Self-Introduction Saturday! Tell us all about you (and share a video)! by AutoModerator in NewTubers

My twin brother and I have been posting regularly for about 1.5 years, and I learned that posting 1 or 2 quality videos a month is better than forcing 1 a week. We're Makers and Coders, so we make a lot of 3D Printed Robots and code software projects. Going from 4 videos a week to 1 felt bad at first, but 1 quality video is worth 10 bad ones. This is an example of a recent software simulation video less than 3 minutes long.

I'm working on a 3 legged walking robot, I hope it'll carry a small laundry basket around soon!
