Abstract
Techniques for capturing and displaying point clouds using an AR device are described. A GNSS point of the AR device is determined based on received satellite signals. A depth image is captured while the AR device is positioned at the GNSS point. The depth image is projected into 3D space to obtain a point cloud having a set of points. An accuracy of the GNSS point is determined. In response to determining that the accuracy of the GNSS point is below a threshold, the GNSS point is determined to be a low-accuracy GNSS point, points from the set of points that are outside of a zone surrounding a previously determined high-accuracy GNSS point are removed, and remaining points from the set of points that are inside the zone are displayed on a display of the AR device.
