Patent 11030474 was granted and assigned to Apple (company) on June, 2021 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
Implementations disclosed herein more accurately and efficiently identify planar region boundaries corresponding to surfaces in a physical environment based on identifying intersections. In some implementations a detected planar region is altered, e.g., trimmed or extended, based on detecting an intersection of the planar region with an expansion of another planar region. In other implementations, a detected planar region is altered, e.g., trimmed or extended, based on detecting an intersection of the planar region with a detected edge line.
