0:26 Foundation Stereo Examples
5:46 Comparing Stereo Matching (IGEV, Selective IGEV, CREStereo, CroCo v2)

12:46 Comparing Monocular Depth Estimation (Depth Anything v2 Metric, Depth Pro)

Foundation Stereo is an impressive model for depth estimation and 3D reconstruction. While their paper is focused on the stereo matching part, they focus on the results of the 3d point cloud which is important for 3D scene understanding. This method beats many existing methods out there like the new monocular depth estimation methods like Depth Anything and Depth pro.
