## What it is
Monodepth2 is the reference PyTorch implementation of the ICCV 2019 paper 'Digging into Self-Supervised Monocular Depth Prediction'. It trains and runs neural networks that estimate depth (disparity) from a single monocular image using self-supervision, with pretrained models provided.

## Use cases
- estimate depth from a single image
- predict monocular disparity with a neural network
- train a self-supervised depth estimation model
- run monocular depth estimation on KITTI-style driving footage
- get metric depth from stereo-trained models
- reproduce ICCV 2019 monodepth2 research results

## When to choose
- you need single-image depth estimation with pretrained PyTorch models
- you want to reproduce or build on the Monodepth2 paper
- you need a self-supervised depth prediction baseline for research

## When to avoid
- you need real-time depth on mobile or embedded devices
- you need a maintained production library with modern PyTorch support
- you need commercial usage - the code is non-commercial only
- you need multi-frame or video depth estimation
