Legged robots require fast and accurate representation of their surrounding terrain to achieve behaviors such as running, push recovery, continuous walking, backflips, while also utilizing on-board computational resources efficiently. The desired tasks can be achieved efficiently by representing the environment using planar regions. However, existing methods for planar region extraction are either...
