Abstract

A processor-implemented method of estimating a plane includes dividing a target image into a plurality of grid cells, estimating an initial plane based on reference feature points comprising a reference feature point selected from each of the plurality of grid cells, classifying each feature point of feature points extracted from the target image as being an inlier located on the same plane as the initial plane or an outlier located on a plane different from the initial plane, selecting boundary grid cells from the plurality of grid cells based on a distribution of the inliers and the outliers from among the feature points, and estimating an expanded plane associated with the initial plane based on the selected boundary grid cells for use in identifying boundaries of a planar surface presented in a scene corresponding to the target image.
