# ✨ Latent Bridge Matching for Depth Estimation ✨

Latent Bridge Matching (LBM) is a new, versatile and scalable method proposed in [LBM: Latent Bridge Matching for Fast Image-to-Image Translation](https://arxiv.org/abs/2503.07535) that relies on Bridge Matching in a latent space to achieve fast image-to-image translation.
This model was trained to estimate the depth map from a given input image.
See also our [live demo](https://huggingface.co/spaces/jasperai/LBM_relighting) for image relighting and official [Github repo](https://github.com/gojasper/LBM).

## How to use?
To use this model you need first to install the associated `lbm` library by running the following
```bash
pip install git+https://github.com/gojasper/LBM.git
```

Then, you can infer with the model on your input images 
```python
import torch
from PIL import Image
from lbm.inference import evaluate, get_model

# Load model
model = get_model(
  "jasperai/LBM_depth",
  torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
  device="cuda",
)

# Load a source image
source_image = Image.open("your_image")

# Perform inference
output_image = evaluate(model, source_image, num_sampling_steps=1)
```

## Metrics
This model achieves the following metrics

| Metrics | AbsRel ↓  | δ1 ↑ | δ2 ↑ |
|---------|-----------|------|------|
| NYUv2   | 5.6       | 97.2 | 99.2 |
| Kitti   | 9.4       | 93.0 | 98.9 |
| ETH3D   | 6.3       | 96.5 | 99.3 |
| ScanNet | 5.7       | 97.0 | 99.2 |
| DIODE   | 30.3      | 77.5 | 89.3 |
