Implements #1018 (epic #818 Track C4) — one of the epic's named quick wins.

The model is exported, parity-verified and hosted, so this works on first use rather than shipping plumbing that waits for weights.

What ships

New src/PhotoDepth.{h,cpp} (pure data, no Ogre/GL — the PbrMapSynth shape) plus scripts/export-depth-anything-onnx.py.

qtmesh material --photo-depth photo.png [-o depth.png] [--depth-letterbox]

Output is 8-bit grayscale, near = bright — the same convention MeshDepthRenderer emits, so a photo and a rendered mesh can feed SDWorker::generateTextureControlled interchangeably. That was the point of the issue: depth-condition the SD texture path from a reference photo rather than only mesh-rendered depth.

Licence: Small only, enforced in code

Small is Apache-2.0. Base and Large are cc-by-nc-4.0 and can never ship — the same bar that rejected SF3D and Hunyuan3D. Rather than leave that to reviewer vigilance, the export script queries the HF model API and hard-fails before downloading any weights. Verified by running it against Base-hf:

REFUSING to export depth-anything/Depth-Anything-V2-Base-hf: license
'cc-by-nc-4.0' is not in the permissive allow-list ['apache-2.0'].

No file was written.

Two export defects found and fixed

Both are the kind that ship silently:

  1. The obvious dynamic-axis export freezes the output size. A 462×462 input still produced a 518×518 map — int() casts in the HF head bake the interpolate target into a TorchScript constant. The graph advertises dynamic H/W, so nothing downstream would have noticed.
  2. Re-interpolating to the input size fixed the shape and then exposed genuine accuracy drift away from the traced resolution: 2.3e-02 relative error at 462², 4.9e-02 at 392², versus 2.7e-06 at 518². The ViT position-embedding interpolation is only partly captured.

So the export pins 518×518 — which is what the reference preprocessor resizes to anyway (preprocessor_config.json: size 518, keep_aspect_ratio, ensure_multiple_of 14). Pinning costs nothing and removes a silent-wrong-answer mode; the C++ side resizes and optionally letterboxes.

Parity, because of #1025

The script asserts torch-vs-ORT agreement on noise and a smooth structured image (4.1e-06 / 6.9e-06 max abs diff) and refuses to write a graph with any non-finite output. This exists precisely because the UniRig export shipped a 100%-NaN graph that went unnoticed for months (#1025). PhotoDepth::estimate carries the same guard at runtime.

Verification

Model uploaded to the HF models repo (depth/da2_small.onnx, 99,111,487 bytes), downloaded through the normal first-use path, and run from the CLI on a 1024×1536 photo — correct depth map, subject near / background far, plausible floor gradient, output at full source resolution.

12 unit tests pin the contract: ImageNet normalisation, CHW layout, pinned input size, near=bright, constant-field → mid-grey, non-finite handling, letterbox round-trip, clean failure without a model.

Mutation-tested — inverting near/far, skipping normalisation, mapping a constant field to black, and dropping the per-texel NaN guard each fail a test. One guard was proven redundant by mutation (std::min/max already reject NaN in this argument order) and replaced with a comment explaining why, rather than left as untestable belt-and-braces.

Not in scope

The issue lists two further consumers — wiring photo depth into the SD ControlNet path as a selectable source, and a height/displacement map for the PBR pipeline. Both are GUI/pipeline work on top of this core and belong in their own PR with their own visual verification.

Closes #1018.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added photo-based monocular depth estimation using the Depth-Anything-V2-Small model.
    • Added the material --photo-depth command to generate grayscale depth maps for ControlNet workflows.
    • Added optional letterboxing to preserve photo aspect ratios.
    • Depth output uses a near-is-bright convention and matches the source image dimensions by default.
    • The model downloads automatically when needed and is cached locally.
  • Documentation

    • Added usage, model, licensing, resolution, download, and output-format documentation.

Epic #818 Track C4, one of the epic's named quick wins. The model is EXPORTED,
PARITY-VERIFIED and HOSTED, so this works on first use rather than shipping
plumbing that waits for weights.

New `src/PhotoDepth.{h,cpp}` (pure data, no Ogre/GL — the PbrMapSynth shape) and
`scripts/export-depth-anything-onnx.py`. CLI:

    qtmesh material --photo-depth photo.png [-o depth.png] [--depth-letterbox]

Output is 8-bit grayscale with near = bright, the SAME convention
MeshDepthRenderer emits, so a photo and a rendered mesh can feed
SDWorker::generateTextureControlled interchangeably.

LICENCE: Small only. Base and Large are cc-by-nc-4.0 and can never ship. The
export script queries the HF API and hard-fails on any licence outside its
allow-list BEFORE downloading weights — verified by running it against
Base-hf, which it refused without writing a file.

Two defects found and fixed while exporting, both of the kind that ship
silently:

  * The obvious dynamic-axis export declares dynamic H/W but FREEZES the output
    size: a 462x462 input still produced a 518x518 map. Caused by `int()` casts
    in the HF head baking the interpolate target into a TorchScript constant.
  * Re-interpolating to the input size fixed the shape but exposed real
    accuracy drift away from the traced resolution (2.3e-02 relative at 462,
    4.9e-02 at 392, vs 2.7e-06 at 518) — the ViT position-embedding
    interpolation is only partly captured.

So the export PINS 518x518, which is what the reference preprocessor resizes to
anyway (preprocessor_config.json: size 518, keep_aspect_ratio,
ensure_multiple_of 14). Pinning costs nothing and removes a silent-wrong-answer
mode; the C++ side resizes and optionally letterboxes.

The script asserts torch-vs-ORT parity on noise AND a smooth structured image
(4.1e-06 / 6.9e-06) and refuses to write a graph with non-finite output —
directly because the UniRig export (#1025) shipped a 100%-NaN graph that went
unnoticed for months. PhotoDepth::estimate carries the same guard at runtime.

Verified end-to-end: model uploaded to the HF models repo (depth/da2_small.onnx,
99,111,487 bytes), downloaded through the normal path, and run from the CLI on a
1024x1536 photo — correct depth map, subject near/background far, plausible
floor gradient.

12 unit tests pin the contract (ImageNet normalisation, CHW layout, pinned input
size, near=bright, constant-field -> mid-grey, non-finite handling, letterbox
round-trip, clean failure without a model). Mutation-tested: inverting near/far,
skipping normalisation, mapping a constant field to black, and dropping the
per-texel NaN guard each fail a test. One guard was proven REDUNDANT by mutation
(std::min/max already reject NaN in this argument order) and replaced with a
comment saying so rather than left as untestable belt-and-braces.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds a photo-depth pipeline based on Depth-Anything-V2-Small. The change includes a license-gated ONNX export script, model download and inference code, a material CLI command, preprocessing tests, and documentation.

Changes

Photo depth estimation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Model export and contract validation
scripts/export-depth-anything-onnx.py, THIRD_PARTY_AI_MODELS.md
The export script validates the Apache-2.0 license, pins the 518×518 spatial contract, and checks torch-versus-ONNX parity. The documentation records the model and runtime contract.
Photo depth engine and model management
src/PhotoDepth.h, src/PhotoDepth.cpp, src/CMakeLists.txt
The PhotoDepth API preprocesses images, runs ONNX inference, converts inverse depth to near-bright grayscale, handles letterboxing, and downloads or locates the cached model.
Material CLI integration
src/CLIPipeline.h, src/CLIPipeline.cpp
qtmesh material accepts --photo-depth and --depth-letterbox, invokes photo-depth estimation, and writes a depth PNG.
Preprocessing and failure-path tests
src/PhotoDepth_test.cpp, tests/CMakeLists.txt
Tests cover normalization, pinned input size, letterboxing, depth scaling, non-finite values, invalid input, missing models, and model-cache paths.

P2 Badge Reject exporter sizes the runtime cannot consume

An invocation such as --size 392 passes this validation and produces a parity-checked graph pinned to 392×392, but PhotoDepth::estimate() always constructs a [1,3,518,518] tensor. If that artifact is hosted under the expected filename, every inference fails with an ONNX dimension mismatch; either restrict this option to 518 or carry the exported size into the runtime contract.

P2 Badge Exclude infinities before computing the depth range

When model output contains an isolated +inf or -inf, the earlier inference probe accepts it because it only rejects a sample when every probed value is non-finite. These min/max updates then make the range infinite: +inf collapses finite pixels toward black, while -inf can make their normalization inf / inf and pass NaN into the integer conversion. Skip every non-finite value while computing the range, as is already done for individual output texels.

P2 Badge Apply EXIF orientation before estimating depth

For common camera JPEGs whose portrait orientation is stored only in EXIF metadata, constructing QImage directly reads the underlying unrotated pixels without requesting the metadata transform. The model therefore estimates a sideways or mirrored scene, and the generated PNG no longer carries the source orientation metadata to compensate. Load through QImageReader with auto-transform enabled before preprocessing.

Reject non-finite values in the consumed depth output.

estimate() checks only the first 1024 values and can accept a non-finite value in the remaining 518*518 values consumed by toDepthImage(). A NaN can become a grey substitute pixel while estimate() reports success. Infinities can set rawMin or rawMax to infinity and invalidate normalization. Validate the consumed prefix before conversion.

fernandotonon and others added 2 commits September 14, 2026 18:25
Completes GUI/CLI/MCP parity for the photo-depth core.

GUI: a "Depth from photo…" button in the Material Editor's texture panel, next
to the existing PBR-synth and upscale actions. Unlike the #403 mesh-depth path
it needs no selected mesh — it estimates depth from any 2-D image, so a
reference photo can condition ControlNet generation. Model resolution happens
on the GUI thread (ensureModelBlocking spins a QEventLoop over
ModelDownloader's queued signals) and inference runs on a worker, marshalling
the result back — the same split the #405 upscale path documents.

MCP: `photo_depth {image_path, output_path?, letterbox?}`, registered heavy and
mapped to the pbr_synth gamification cluster. Returns the output path,
dimensions, and the RAW relative-depth range so a caller can detect a
featureless result rather than trusting a normalised image.

Verified live over HTTP MCP: the tool is discoverable, ran on a 1024x1536
photo, and the resulting map was applied to a plane and confirmed rendering in
the viewport.

One gotcha worth recording for future demos: `set_texture` with an ABSOLUTE
path writes a valid material script but Ogre cannot resolve it — the directory
has to be a registered resource location (cfg/resources.cfg), so the texture
silently stays at the default checker. Binding by BASENAME from
media/materials/textures works. The tool reports success either way, which is
how the first demo looked fine in the logs and wrong on screen.

…guard

All five review findings on #1027 were valid.

1. CRITICAL — default build broken. PhotoDepth.h was included inside
   `#ifdef ENABLE_ONNX` while cmdMaterialPhotoDepth calls PhotoDepth::
   unconditionally, so an ENABLE_ONNX=OFF build (the default) failed to
   compile. PhotoDepth.cpp always builds and ships non-ONNX stubs precisely so
   the feature can report itself unavailable, so the include belongs outside
   the guard. Proven both ways by syntax-checking CLIPipeline.cpp with
   ENABLE_ONNX stripped from its real compile command: 4 errors before, 0 after.

2. Infinities poisoned the depth range. My earlier comment claimed no isfinite
   check was needed because std::min/max shrug off NaN — true for NaN, but an
   isolated +inf/-inf compares NORMALLY and takes over the range: +inf
   collapses every finite pixel toward black, -inf makes the normalisation
   inf/inf = NaN on the way to the 0..255 cast. The inference probe cannot
   catch it (it only rejects output where EVERY sampled value is non-finite).

3. EXIF orientation ignored. QImage(path) reads the UNROTATED pixels, so a
   portrait phone JPEG was estimated sideways and the PNG we write carries no
   metadata to compensate. Now loaded via QImageReader with setAutoTransform.
   The finding named the CLI; the same bug was in the MCP and GUI paths, so all
   three are fixed.

4. --size could produce an unusable artifact. The graph is pinned to --size but
   PhotoDepth::estimate always builds [1,3,518,518]; a 392-pinned model hosted
   under the expected name would fail EVERY inference. The script now refuses a
   mismatch against RUNTIME_SIZE unless --allow-size-mismatch is passed, and
   says that changing it for real means updating kInputSize too. Verified:
   `--size 392` is refused with no file written.

5. Stale docstring claiming dynamic H/W — corrected to describe the pinned
   contract and why it is pinned.

One new test pins the infinity case and is mutation-verified (removing the
isfinite guard fails it). Re-verified after the fixes: export still passes
torch parity (9.8e-06 noise / 6.9e-06 smooth), CLI still produces a correct
1024x1536 map.

All five findings were valid and are fixed in f3c76e5b.

1. Default build broken (Critical) — confirmed and fixed.

PhotoDepth.h sat inside #ifdef ENABLE_ONNX while cmdMaterialPhotoDepth calls PhotoDepth:: unconditionally. Your reasoning was exactly right: PhotoDepth.cpp always builds and ships non-ONNX stubs so that the feature can report itself unavailable, which means the include belongs outside the guard.

Proven both directions by syntax-checking CLIPipeline.cpp with ENABLE_ONNX stripped from its real compile command (compile_commands.json): 4 errors before the fix, 0 after. I don't have an ONNX-off configure locally, so this was the honest way to verify rather than assert it.

2. Infinities poisoned the depth range — confirmed and fixed.

This one corrects a comment I wrote earlier in the PR. I had claimed no isfinite check was needed because std::min/max reject NaN — true for NaN (they return the second argument when a comparison is false), but an isolated +inf/-inf compares normally and takes over the range. Exactly as you describe: +inf collapses finite pixels toward black, -inf makes the normalisation inf/inf = NaN into the 0..255 cast. The inference probe can't catch it because it only rejects output where every sampled value is non-finite.

New test pins both signs, mutation-verified (removing the guard fails it).

3. EXIF orientation — confirmed and fixed, in three places.

QImage(path) reads unrotated pixels, so a portrait phone JPEG was estimated sideways with no metadata on the output to compensate. Now QImageReader + setAutoTransform(true).

The finding named the CLI; the same bug was in the MCP and GUI paths, so I fixed all three rather than just the one reported.

4. --size could produce an unusable artifact — confirmed and fixed.

Sharp catch. The graph is pinned to --size, but PhotoDepth::estimate always builds [1,3,518,518], so a 392-pinned model hosted under the expected filename would fail every inference with a dimension mismatch — after passing parity, which makes it worse.

The script now refuses a mismatch against RUNTIME_SIZE unless --allow-size-mismatch is passed, and says that changing it for real means updating kInputSize too. Verified: --size 392 is refused with no file written.

5. Stale docstring — corrected to describe the pinned contract and why it is pinned.

Re-verified after the fixes: export still passes torch parity (9.8e-06 noise / 6.9e-06 smooth image), and the CLI still produces a correct 1024×1536 depth map. 13 tests passing.

I had only uploaded to the aggregate QtMeshEditor-models repo and missed the
project's dedicated-mirror convention, which THIRD_PARTY_AI_MODELS.md documents
and scripts/sync-hf-model-repos.sh automates: every converted model also gets a
standalone repo carrying its own model card, per-model licence and I/O contract.
All 21 other models have one.

Created fernandotonon/QtMeshEditor-depthanything-onnx with a full card (I/O
contract, the pinned-518 rationale with the measured drift table, parity
numbers, and why Base/Large are excluded), and registered it in the sync script
so future refreshes are one command:

    scripts/sync-hf-model-repos.sh depthanything

Verified the mirrored file is byte-identical to the aggregate copy
(sha256 280ffc23316c5b79…, 99,111,487 bytes).
