Abstract
A method of sensing depth using an infrared camera. In an example method, an infrared image of a scene is received from an infrared camera. The infrared image is applied to a trained machine learning component which uses the intensity of image elements to assign all or some of the image elements a depth value which represents the distance between the surface depicted by the image element and the infrared camera. In various examples, the machine line component comprises one or more random decision forests.
