Manipulation as in Simulation: Enabling Accurate Geometry Perception in Robots

This repository contains the Camera Depth Models (CDMs) from the paper: Manipulation as in Simulation: Enabling Accurate Geometry Perception in Robots.

Overview

Camera Depth Models (CDMs) are proposed as a simple plugin for daily-use depth cameras. They take RGB images and raw depth signals as input and output denoised, accurate metric depth. This enables policies trained purely in simulation to transfer directly to real robots by providing nearly simulation-level accurate depth perception.

Usage

For detailed installation instructions and further usage examples, please refer to the CDM documentation in the GitHub repository.

CDM Inference Example

To run depth inference on RGB-D camera data, use the following command:

bash

cd cdm
python infer.py \
    --encoder vitl \
    --model-path /path/to/model.pth \
    --rgb-image /path/to/rgb.jpg \
    --depth-image /path/to/depth.png \
    --output result.png
