Abstract
Aspects of the embodiments are directed to passive depth determination. Initially, a high power depth map of a scene can be created. An object in the scene can be identified, such as a rigid body or other object or portion of an object. A series of lower power or RGB images can be captured. The object can be located in one or more of the lower power or RGB images. A change in the position of an object, represented by a set of pixels, can be determined. From the change in position of the object, a new depth of the object can be extrapolated. The extrapolated depth of the object can be used to update the high power depth map.
