About Midas Depth Estimation

Produces a depth map from one input image with the Midas estimator. Besides `image_url`, it exposes the numeric parameters `a` and `bg_th`, and a `depth_and_normal` flag to return normals along with depth. Returns a single image object.

Parameters

Send either the canonical name or the native name, not both. Canonical names
