The depth function (functional) is a modern nonparametric statistical analysis tool for (finite-dimensional) data with lots of practical applications. In the present work we focus on the possibilities of the extension of the depth concept onto a functional data case. In the case of finite-dimensional functional data the isomorphism between the functional space and the finite-dimensional Euclidean space will be utilized in order to introduce the induced functional data depths. A theorem about induced depths' properties will be proven and on several examples the possibilities and restraints of it's practical applications will be shown. Moreover, we describe and demonstrate the advantages and disadvantages of the established depth functionals used in the literature (Fraiman-Muniz depths and band depths). In order to facilitate the outcoming drawbacks of known depths, we propose new, K-band depth based on the inference extension from continuous to smooth functions. Several important properties of the K-band depth will be derived. On a final supervised classification simulation study the reasonability of practical use of the new approach will be shown. As a conclusion, the computational complexity of all presented depth functionals will be compared.
