Can I set the pre-trained model to depth_anything_v2_metric_vkitti_vitl.pth for further fine-tuning on outdoor datasets?

Hello, I would like to fine-tune the metric depth network on my own outdoor dataset. Can I use depth_anything_v2_metric_vkitti_vitl.pth as the pre-trained model to start training instead of depth_anything_v2_vitl.pth? Would this approach yield better results?

I think you can try both strategies. But personally, I would recommend using depth_anything_v2_vitl.pth as a pre-training source, since it is trained on much larger-scale data and is more general.
