 ### Depth images
 
-To train with depth supervision, you can also provide a `depth_file_path` for each frame in your `transforms.json` and use one of the methods that support additional depth losses (e.g., depth-nerfacto). The depths are assumed to be 16-bit or 32-bit and to be in millimeters to remain consistent with [Polyform](https://github.com/PolyCam/polyform). You can adjust this scaling factor using the `depth_unit_scale_factor` parameter in `NerfstudioDataParserConfig`. Note that by default, we resize the depth images to match the shape of the RGB images.
