Abstract

A method for determining estimated depth data for an object includes scanning the object to produce scan data corresponding to a surface region of the object using a first scanning process, configuring an artificial neural network with first configuration data corresponding to the first scanning process, and providing the scan data as an input to the configured artificial neural network to yield the estimated depth data as an output, the estimated depth data representing a location of a part of the object in the surface region.
