Polyp-DAM: Polyp segmentation via depth anything model

Understand

Recently, large models (Segment Anything model) came on the scene to provide a new baseline for polyp segmentation tasks.

• This demonstrates that large models with a sufficient image level prior can achieve promising performance on a given task.
• In this paper, we unfold a new perspective on polyp segmentation modeling by leveraging the Depth Anything Model (DAM) to provide depth prior to polyp segmentation models.
• Specifically, the input polyp image is first passed through a frozen DAM to generate a depth map.
