Evaluation of Metric Depth Estimation performance on the validation split of the Waymo DepthVLM-Bench dataset, reporting the delta1 error.

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.

| Scope | Recorded value |
| --- | --- |
| Task | Metric Depth Estimation |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | Waymo DepthVLM-Bench (val) |
| Metric | Delta1 Error |
| Unit | PERCENT |
| Direction | Higher is better |
| Results loaded | 11 of 11 |
| Coverage | All results currently returned for this benchmark |

Evaluation settings may differ between results. The original papers and recorded configurations are needed to establish comparability. A shared metric name alone does not establish an identical protocol.

## Metrics

- [Delta1 Error](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/metric-depth-estimation-on-waymo-depthvlm-bench-val.md?metric=Delta1%20Error>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.
