Abstract
Mechanisms are provided for generating an augmented reality representation of a real-world environment. An augmented reality (AR) system receives a captured digital image of the real-world environment and generates an initial estimate of a candidate point specifying an estimated location of an annotation point of a virtual object model within the captured digital image of the real-world environment. An accuracy of the initial estimate is calculated based on a function of characteristics of the annotation point and a function of characteristics of the candidate point and, in response to the evaluation of accuracy indicating that the initial estimate is not accurate, an annotation point location refinement operation is performed to generate a refined candidate point for aligning the annotation point with the captured digital image of the real-world environment. An AR representation of the real-world environment is generated based on the refined candidate point.
