Abstract: This disclosure provides more effective and/or efficient techniques for determining information about a physical environment. Such techniques optionally complement or replace other techniques for determining information about a physical environment. Some techniques described herein cover switching which cameras are used to calculate a depth of a location in a physical environment. The switch may occur when current images do not have sufficient feature correlation for calculating the depth of the location. Other techniques described herein cover switching which cameras are used to obtain sufficient data for a location within a representation (e.g., a three-dimensional representation) of a physical environment. The switch may occur in response to determining that there is not sufficient data for the location.
