Claim 6:
7. The method of claim 1, wherein the 3D model is a first 3D model, the method further comprising:
obtaining a second 3D model of at least part of the physical environment;
determining an orientation of the image sensor with respect to the second 3D model;
determining an orientation of the second 3D model with respect to the global reference direction based on the orientation of the image sensor with respect to the second 3D model and the orientation of the image sensor with respect to the global reference direction; and
generating a third 3D model by merging the first 3D model and the second 3D model based on the orientation of the second 3D model with respect to the global reference direction and the orientation of the image sensor with respect to the global reference direction.
