Abstract
A method for one or more processors to implement includes acquiring a synthetic image of an object from a second orientation different from a first orientation, using a three-dimensional model. The method further includes identifying, in the synthetic image, second edge points that are located on an edge of the object that is not a perimeter. The method further includes identifying matched edge points, which are first edge points and second edge points at substantially a same location on the object. The method further includes storing the matched edged points in a memory that can be accessed by an object-tracking device, so that the object-tracking device can identify the object in a real environment by identifying the matched edge points in images of the object.
