EXPANDING A DIGITAL REPRESENTATION OF A PHYSICAL PLANE

摘要

Techniques are presented for expanding a digital representation of a physical plane from a physical scene. In some aspects, a method may include determining an orientation and an initial portion of a physical plane in the scene, and subdividing a rectified image for the scene into a plurality of grid cells. For the grid cells, an image signature may be generated. A grid cell contiguous to the obtained initial portion of the plane is determined to include part of the plane. An iterative process may be performed for each neighboring grid cell from the grid cell contiguous to at least part of the obtained initial portion, determining whether the neighboring grid cell is to be included as part of the plane if the image signature of said neighboring grid cell is similar to the image signature of a grid cell already determined to be included as part of the plane.
