In recent years, monocular depth estimation (MDE) has gained significant progress in a data-driven learning fashion. Previous methods can infer depth maps for specific domains based on the paradigm of single-domain or joint-domain training with mixed data. However, they suffer from low scalability to new domains. In reality, target domains often dynamically change or increase, raising the requirement of incremental multi-domain/task learning. In this paper, we seek to enable lifelong learning for MDE, which performs cross-domain depth learning sequentially, to achieve high plasticity on a new domain and maintain good stability on original domains. To overcome significant domain gaps and enable scale-aware depth prediction, we design a lightweight multi-head framework that consists of a domain-shared encoder for feature extraction and domain-specific predictors for metric depth estimation. Moreover, given an input image, we propose an efficient predictor selection approach that automatically identifies the corresponding predictor for depth inference. Through extensive numerical studies, we show that the proposed method can achieve good efficiency, stability, and plasticity, leading the benchmarks by 8% to 15%.
