Abstract
A view of geometry captured in image data generated by an imaging sensor is compared with a description of the geometry in a volumetric data structure. The volumetric data structure describes the volume at a plurality of levels of detail and includes entries describing voxels defining subvolumes of the volume at multiple levels of detail. The volumetric data structure includes a first entry to describe voxels at a lowest one of the levels of detail and further includes a number of second entries to describe voxels at a higher, second level of detail, the voxels at the second level of detail representing subvolumes of the voxels at the first level of detail. Each of these entries include bits to indicate whether a corresponding one of the voxels is at least partially occupied with the geometry. One or more of these entries are used in the comparison with the image data.
