Abstract
In accordance with some embodiments, systems, methods and media for directly recovering planar surfaces in a scene using structured light are provided. In some embodiments, a system comprises: a light source; an image sensor; a processor programmed to: cause the light source to emit a pattern comprising a pattern feature with two line segments that intersect on an epipolar line; cause the image sensor to capture an image including the pattern; identify an image feature in the image, the image feature comprising two intersecting line segments that intersect at a point in the image that corresponds to the first epipolar line; estimate a plane hypothesis associated with the pattern feature based on properties of the pattern feature and properties of the image feature, the plane hypothesis associated with a set of parameters characterizing a plane; and identify a planar surface in the scene based on the plane hypothesis.
