Event cameras are neuromorphic vision sensors that asynchronously capture pixel-level intensity changes with high temporal resolution and dynamic range. These make them well suited for monocular depth estimation under challenging lighting conditions. However, progress in event-based monocular depth estimation remains constrained by the quality of supervision: LiDAR-based depth labels are inherently sparse, spatially incomplete, and prone to artifacts. Consequently, these signals are suboptimal for learning dense depth from sparse events. To address this problem, we propose Distil-E2D, a framework that distills depth priors from the image domain into the event domain by generating dense synthetic pseudolabels from co-recorded APS or RGB frames using foundational depth models. These pseudolabels complement sparse LiDAR depths with dense semantically rich supervision informed by large-scale image-depth datasets. To reconcile discrepancies between synthetic and real depths, we introduce a Confidence-Guided Calibrated Depth Loss that learns nonlinear depth alignment and adaptively weights supervision by alignment confidence. Additionally, our architecture integrates past predictions via a Context Transformer and employs a Dual-Decoder Training scheme that enhances encoder representations by jointly learning metric and relative depth abstractions. Experiments on benchmark datasets show that Distil-E2D achieves state-of-the-art performance in event-based monocular depth estimation across both event-only and event+APS settings.

We present DiSR-NeRF, a diffusion-guided framework for view-consistent super-resolution (SR) NeRF. Unlike prior works, we circumvent the requirement for high-resolution (HR) reference images by leveraging existing powerful 2D super-resolution models. Nonetheless, independent SR 2D images are often inconsistent across different views. We thus propose Iterative 3D Synchronization (I3DS) to mitigate the inconsistency problem via the inherent multi-view consistency property of NeRF. Specifically, our I3DS alternates between upscaling low-resolution (LR) rendered images with diffusion models, and updating the underlying 3D representation with standard NeRF training. We further introduce Renoised Score Distillation (RSD), a novel score-distillation objective for 2D image resolution. Our RSD combines features from ancestral sampling and Score Distillation Sampling (SDS) to generate sharp images that are also LR-consistent. Qualitative and quantitative results on both synthetic and real-world datasets demonstrate that our DiSR-NeRF can achieve better results on NeRF super-resolution compared with existing works.
