Abstract

There is disclosed a technique for use in processing vectorized elements on a mobile computing device. A vector list is received, wherein the list comprises a set of vectors having positional and magnitude values associated with identified markers. A first test angle and stride size is determined. Vectors falling within a boundary defined by the first test angle and first stride size are analyzed and a likelihood the vectors form a line is determined. An increment size is adjusted if a positive determination result occurs. Vectors that intersect with a line are identified, wherein the vectors include vectors determined to fall with the boundary defined by the first test angle and first stride size. Based on a first policy, vectors that intersect the line are identified. A report including anchor information associated with the identified vectors is created.
