instructions would make your pull request more healthy and more easily
get feedback. If you do not understand some items, don't worry, just
make the pull request and seek help from maintainers.
## Motivation
Support depth estimation algorithm [VPD](https://github.com/wl-zhao/VPD)
## Modification
1. add VPD backbone
2. add VPD decoder head for depth estimation
3. add a new segmentor `DepthEstimator` based on `EncoderDecoder` for
depth estimation
4. add an integrated metric that calculate common metrics in depth
estimation
5. add SiLog loss for depth estimation
6. add config for VPD
## BC-breaking (Optional)
Does the modification introduce changes that break the
backward-compatibility of the downstream repos?
If so, please describe how it breaks the compatibility and how the
downstream projects should modify their code to keep compatibility with
this PR.
## Use cases (Optional)
If this PR introduces a new feature, it is better to list some use cases
here, and update the documentation.
## Checklist
1. Pre-commit or other linting tools are used to fix the potential lint
issues.
7. The modification is covered by complete unit tests. If not, please
add more unit test to ensure the correctness.
8. If the modification has potential influence on downstream projects,
this PR should be tested with downstream projects, like MMDet or
MMDet3D.
9. The documentation has been modified accordingly, like docstring or
example tutorials.
## Motivation
In MMEngine >= 0.2.0, it might directly determine what the backend is by
using the `data_root` path.
## Modification
Set all default `backend_args` values are `None`.
## Motivation
Use the new fileio from mmengine
https://github.com/open-mmlab/mmengine/pull/533
## Modification
1. Use `mmengine.fileio` to repalce FileClient in mmseg/datasets
2. Use `mmengine.fileio` to repalce FileClient in
mmseg/datasets/transforms
3. Use `mmengine.fileio` to repalce FileClient in mmseg/visualization
## BC-breaking (Optional)
we modify all the dataset configurations, so please use the latest config file.
