Abstract
Techniques are described for determining the pose of a surface based on a point set representing the surface. Corner models are matched to a contour of the point set using a difference minimization technique to identify corner poses of the surface. Based on the corner poses, a virtual model of the surface is created and matched to the point set to determine the pose of the surface.
