Ultralytics YOLO-Stereo3D

YOLO-Stereo3D is an upcoming Ultralytics model announced on the official Ultralytics roadmap for stereo 3D detection from binocular camera pairs in robotics: a camera-native alternative to lidar, and one of the new modalities planned for the YOLO family in 2027.

In general, stereo cameras cost a fraction of lidar, add no moving parts, and recover 3D information from paired imagery. That is why the Ultralytics roadmap positions YOLO-Stereo3D as a camera-native alternative to lidar for robotics.

The released Ultralytics YOLO-Depth models perform monocular depth estimation from one RGB camera, while the upcoming YOLO-Stereo3D task uses a synchronized binocular camera pair for stereo 3D detection.

Release timing is announced on the official Ultralytics roadmap, which lists YOLO-Stereo3D among the new modalities joining the YOLO family in 2027. Follow the roadmap and GitHub for announcements.

Use Ultralytics YOLO-Depth when one RGB camera and a dense per-pixel depth map meet your needs. For object detection, segmentation, and pose, start with Ultralytics YOLO26. Both use the production Ultralytics workflow while YOLO-Stereo3D remains on the roadmap.
