Abstract
Technologies pertaining to computing depth images of a scene that includes a mobile object based upon the principle of light falloff are described herein. An infrared image of a scene that includes a mobile object is captured, wherein the infrared image has a plurality of pixels having a respective plurality of intensity values. A depth image for the scene is computed based at least in part upon square roots of respective intensity values in the infrared image.
