This repo provides a ComfyUI Custom Node implementation of the Depth-Anything-Tensorrt in Python for ultra fast depth map generation (up to 14x faster than comfyui_controlnet_aux)

Last tested: 03 June 2026 (ComfyUI v0.23.0 | Torch 2.12.0 | Python 3.12.3 | H100 | CUDA 13.0 | Ubuntu 24.04)

🚀 Installation

Navigate to the ComfyUI /custom_nodes directory

git clone https://github.com/yuvraj108c/ComfyUI-Depth-Anything-Tensorrt.git
cd ./ComfyUI-Depth-Anything-Tensorrt
pip install -r requirements.txt

🛠️ Building TensorRT Engine

There are two ways to build TensorRT engines:

Method 1: Using the EngineBuilder Node

1. Insert node by Right Click -> tensorrt -> Depth Anything Engine Builder
2. Select the model version (v1 or v2 or DAD) and size (small, base, or large)
3. Optionally customize the engine name, FP16 settings, and onnx path
4. Run the workflow to build the engine

The engine will be automatically downloaded and built in the specified location. Refresh the webpage or strike 'r' on your keyboard, and the new engine will appear in the Depth Anything Tensorrt node.

Method 2: Manual Building

1. Download one of the available onnx models:
   • Depth Anything v1
   • Depth Anything v2
   • Depth Anything v3
   • Distill Any Depth
2. Run the export script, e.g

python export_trt.py --onnx-path ./depth_anything_vitl14-fp16.onnx --trt-path ./depth_anything_vitl14-fp16.engine

3. Place the exported engine inside ComfyUI /models/tensorrt/depth-anything directory

☀️ Usage

Depth Anything Tensorrt (Basic)

• Insert node by Right Click -> tensorrt -> Depth Anything Tensorrt
• Choose the appropriate engine from the dropdown
• Returns a grayscale depth image (IMAGE type) ready for direct use in workflows

Depth Anything Advanced + Temporal Stabilizer + Depth Map Display

For more control over depth visualization, use the advanced pipeline:

Depth Anything Tensorrt Advanced
        │ depths
        ▼
Depth Temporal Stabilizer Fast GPU    (optional, recommended for video)
        │ depths
        ▼
Depth Map Display

1. Depth Anything Tensorrt Advanced (Right Click -> tensorrt -> Depth Anything Tensorrt Advanced)

   • Returns raw linear depth values instead of a processed image.

2. Depth Temporal Stabilizer Fast GPU (Right Click -> tensorrt -> Depth Temporal Stabilizer Fast GPU)

   • Reduces mild frame-to-frame flickering and relative depth-range pulsing using fast CUDA temporal smoothing.
   • Very high smoothing values can cause trailing on fast-moving objects or strong camera motion.

   Parameter	Default	Range	Description
   temporal_strength	0.45	0.0 – 0.95	Controls how strongly stable pixels inherit depth from the previous stabilized frame. Higher values reduce more flicker but may introduce trails.
   depth_consistency	0.05	0.001 – 0.50	Controls which depth changes are considered stable enough to smooth. Lower values better preserve motion and object edges.
   align_depth_range	true	true/false	Corrects frame-to-frame global relative-depth scale and offset pulsing before temporal smoothing.
   alignment_strength	0.70	0.0 – 1.0	Controls how strongly global depth-range alignment is applied. Increasing this usually has less ghosting risk than increasing temporal smoothing.

3. Depth Map Display (Right Click -> tensorrt -> Depth Map Display)

   • Visualizes raw depth values using colormaps with the following adjustments:

   Parameter	Default	Range	Description
   colormap	—	grayscale, inferno, viridis, plasma, magma, turbo, jet, hot, cool, spring, summer, autumn, winter, bone, rainbow, ocean, hsv, parula, pink	Color scheme for depth visualization
   invert	false	true/false	Flip depth so near becomes far and vice versa
   contrast	1.0	0.1 – 5.0	Spread of depth values around the midpoint
   brightness	0.0	-1.0 – 1.0	Shifts all depth values up or down
   gamma	1.0	0.1 – 5.0	Non-linear tone curve. Below 1.0 reveals detail in distant regions, above 1.0 in near regions
   percentile_clip	2.0	0.0 – 20.0	Clips outlier depth values at this percentile from both ends before normalizing. Prevents extreme values from compressing the useful range
