Presented are systems and methods for improving speed and quality of real-time per-pixel depth estimation of scene layouts from a single image by using an end-to-end Convolutional Spatial Propagation Network (CSPN). An efficient linear propagation model performs propagation using a recurrent convolutional operation. The affinity among neighboring pixels may be learned through a deep convolutional neural network (CNN). The CSPN may be applied to two depth estimation tasks, given a single image: (1) to refine the depth output of existing methods, and (2) to convert sparse depth samples to a dense depth map, e.g., by embedding the depth samples within the propagation procedure. The conversion ensures that the sparse input depth values are preserved in the final depth map and runs in real-time and is, thus, well suited for robotics and autonomous driving applications, where sparse but accurate depth measurements, e.g., from LiDAR, can be fused with image data.
