Abstract
Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that localize a device based on detecting planes in depth data acquired by the device. For example, an example process may include detecting first plane data in first sensor data acquired by a sensor at a first viewpoint location in a physical environment, detecting second plane data in second sensor data acquired by the sensor at a second viewpoint location in the physical environment, determining that the first plane data and the second plane data correspond to a same plane based on comparing the first plane data with the second plane data, and determining a spatial transformation between the first viewpoint location and the second viewpoint location based on the first plane data and the second plane data.
