  • Patent number: 11741676
    Abstract: A method includes obtaining scene data, wherein the scene data includes image data of a scene and depth data of the scene, and the depth data includes depth measurement values of points of a point cloud. The method further includes defining a first detection area, wherein the first detection area includes a spatially defined subset of the scene data, defining a plane model based on points of the point cloud within the first detection area, and defining a plane based on the plane model. The method includes determining at least one value of a usable size of the plane based on points of the point cloud, comparing at least one value of a characteristic size of a digital object to the at least one value of the usable size of the plane, and generating a display including the digital object positioned upon the plane based on the plane model.
