Abstract

In one embodiment for generating passthrough, a computing system may compute, based on an image of a physical environment, depth measurements of at least one physical object. The system may generate a first model of the physical object using the depth measurements. The system may identify first pixels in the image that depict the physical object and associate them with a first representative depth value computed using the first model. The system may determine, for a pixel of an output image, that a portion of the first model and a portion of a second model of a virtual object are visible. The system may determine that the portion of the first model is associated with the plurality of first pixels and determine occlusion at the pixel based on a comparison between the first representative depth value and a depth value associated with the portion of the second model.
