How to estimate depth from gradient?

Hello,
I have a gradient of an image:
mask = fspecial('sobel');
mask2 = mask';
dX = imfilter(image, mask);
dY = imfilter(image, mask2);
And I want to estimate depth from the gradient, any thoughts on how to do so?
Thanks in advance!

Why do you think that might be possible?
Don't call your image variable "image" - that is the name of a built-in function that you shouldn't destroy/override. What do the "intensity" values of your image represent? A distance, like it's a topographic, profilometry, or Kinect image?

Thank you for the advice on image variable.
Yes the image intensity values represent a distance.

If your pixels represent depth (i.e. change in a third dimension), then integrating the gradient should give you height. This means you'll need to know the height at one location.
