US Patent 11651568 Data selection for spatial reconstruction

A computing device spatially reconstructs a virtual feature surface in a mixed reality environment. The computing device detects addition of a raycast element to a virtual user space, maps multiple feature points detected from multiple video frames of a physical user space into a virtual user space, selecting at least three feature points from the multiple feature points that satisfy selection criteria applied in the virtual user space along a raycast axis of the raycast element in the virtual user space, and defines the virtual feature surface in the virtual user space using the at least three selected feature points. At least two of the at least three feature points are detected in different video frames.
