Parallax footage with known relative depth

Layered scenes whose planes translate at documented, fixed ratios, so relative depth is defined by measurable motion rather than inferred from pictorial cues — giving depth-from-video output an objective reference.

Depth Ground Truth — Layer Depth Map

The depth map for the parallax plate, encoded brighter-is-nearer across three layers. These values are not an estimate — they are derived from the layer velocities the generator used, so the depth ordering is exact by construction. Relative depth is what matters here: the layers move at 0.6, 2.4 and 6.0 pixels per frame, a 1 : 4 : 10 ratio.

Depth Input — Three-Layer Parallax Scene

Three planes translating at 0.6, 2.4 and 6.0 pixels per frame — a 1 : 4 : 10 velocity ratio that defines their relative depth by motion alone. There are no pictorial depth cues to fall back on: no perspective convergence, no shading, no familiar object sizes. A monocular depth model that has learned pictorial cues rather than motion parallax will do poorly here, which is precisely what makes the fixture informative.
