  • Patent number: 12579743
    Abstract: Techniques for generating aligned, augmented reality views are disclosed. In some embodiments, an estimate of a floorplan of a three-dimensional space is first generated based on one or more received views of the three-dimensional space from a camera located in the three-dimensional space. A camera pose of the camera in the three-dimensional space is next determined based on generating a corrected floorplan from the estimate of the floorplan based on foreknowledge associated with the floorplan. Display of a rendering having the determined camera pose is facilitated in an actual view of the camera, resulting in an aligned, augmented reality view.
