Abstract

A method includes obtaining first pass-through image data characterized by a first pose. The method includes obtaining respective pixel characterization vectors for pixels in the first pass-through image data. The method includes identifying a feature of an object within the first pass-through image data in accordance with a determination that pixel characterization vectors for the feature satisfy a feature confidence threshold. The method includes displaying the first pass-through image data and an AR display marker that corresponds to the feature. The method includes obtaining second pass-through image data characterized by a second pose. The method includes transforming the AR display marker to a position associated with the second pose in order to track the feature. The method includes displaying the second pass-through image data and maintaining display of the AR display marker that corresponds to the feature of the object based on the transformation.
