Abstract

Systems, devices, methods, and computer-readable media for determining planarity in a 3D data set are provided. A method can include receiving or retrieving three-dimensional (3D) data of a geographical region, dividing the 3D data into first contiguous regions of specified first geographical dimensions, determining, for each first contiguous region of the first contiguous regions, respective measures of variation, identifying, based on the respective measures of variation, a search radius, dividing the 3D data into respective second contiguous or overlapping regions with dimensions the size of the identified search radius, and determining, based on the identified search radius, a planarity of each of the respective second contiguous or overlapping regions.
