First Claim
Patent Images

1. A method, comprising:

  • generating, at an electronic device, a first set of data representative of one or more objects in an environment of the electronic device, wherein the first set of data is based on images captured from one or more visual sensors and non-visual data from one or more non-visual sensors;

    identifying, based on the first set of data, a first set of one or more groups of objects, wherein each group comprises objects appearing together in a configuration in the environmentidentifying a first scene comprising the first set of one or more groups of objects based on a consistency with which the configuration appears over time or over a plurality of motion tracking sessions being above a first threshold;

    identifying a utility weight of each of the one or more objects for identifying the first scene, the utility weight indicating a predicted likelihood that the corresponding object will be persistently identifiable by the electronic device in the first scene over time and based at least in part on verification by one or more mobile devices;

    generating a three-dimensional representation of the first scene based a subset of the first set of data representative of a subset of the one or more objects in the first scene, wherein the subset of the one or more objects comprises objects having utility weights above a threshold, wherein the subset of the first set of data is limited to a threshold amount of data; and

    localizing, at the electronic device, an estimated current pose of the electronic device based on the three-dimensional representation of the first scene.
