Abstract

In one embodiment for generating passthrough, a system may receive an image and depth measurements of an environment and generate a corresponding 3D model. The system identifies, in the image, first pixels depicting a physical object and second pixels corresponding to a padded boundary around the first pixels. The system associates the first pixels with a first portion of the 3D model representing the physical object and a first representative depth value computed based on the depth measurements. The system associates the second pixels with a second portion of the 3D model representing a region around the physical object and a second representative depth value farther than the first representative depth value. The system renders an output image depicting a virtual object and the physical object. Occlusions between the virtual object and the physical object are determined using the first representative depth value and the second representative depth value.
