# DermDepth: Monocular Metric Scale 3D Reconstruction for Dermatology

Model checkpoints from DermDepth (Carrión & Norouzi, MICCAI 2026).

## Checkpoints

| Filename | Training data | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| `DermDepth_Synth.pt` | D-Synth only | "DermDepth_S" in the paper. Synthetic-only baseline. |
| `DermDepth_Synth_SKINL2_WoundsDB.pt` | D-Synth → SKINL2 + WoundsDB | Intermediate stage (before DDI pseudo-GT). |
| `DermDepth_Synth_SKINL2_WoundsDB_DDI.pt` | D-Synth → SKINL2 + WoundsDB → DDI pseudo-GT | **Best model. Corresponds to "DermDepth" in the paper.** |
| `DermDepth_Synth_Normals.pt` | D-Synth, normal-head emphasis | Trained normal-head model. |

## Key results (held-out test sets, paper Table 1)

| Method | SKINL2 Scale | WoundsDB Scale | DDI Ratio | Fitzpatrick Disparity |
|---|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|
| MoGe-2 (baseline) | 16.10× | 0.62× | 81.0× | 10.90 |
| DermDepth_Synth | 1.11× | 0.28× | 9.2× | 1.70 |
| **DermDepth (best)** | **0.87×** | **0.91×** | **1.95×** | **1.02** |

Scale ratio target is 1.0×. See the paper for full benchmarks and SI-δ₁ details.

## Usage

These checkpoints are designed to be loaded by [MoGe-2](https://github.com/microsoft/MoGe), modified per the [DermDepth code repository](https://github.com/hectorcarrion/dermdepth). The repo contains end-to-end training, inference, and evaluation scripts.

Quick download:

```python
from huggingface_hub import hf_hub_download
ckpt = hf_hub_download(
    repo_id="hcarrion/DermDepth",
    filename="DermDepth_Synth_SKINL2_WoundsDB_DDI.pt",
)
```
