Monocular depth estimation is an interesting and challenging problem as there is no analytic mapping known between an intensity image and its depth map. Recently there has been a lot of data accumulated through depth-sensing cameras, in parallel to that researchers started to tackle this task using various learning algorithms. In this paper, a deep sparse coding method is proposed for monocular depth estimation along with an approach for deterministic dictionary initialization.
