Viewpoint Selection using Viewpoint Entropy
نویسندگان
چکیده
Computation of good viewpoints is important in several fields: computational geometry, visual servoing, robot motion, graph drawing, etc. In addition, selection of good views is rapidly becoming a key issue in computer graphics due to the new techniques of Image Based Rendering. Although there is no consensus about what a good view means in Computer Graphics, the quality of a viewpoint is intuitively related to how much information it gives us about a scene. In this paper we use the theoretical basis provided by Information Theory to define a new measure, viewpoint entropy, that allows us to compute good viewing positions automatically. We also show how it can be used to select a set of N good views of a scene for scene understanding. Finally, we design an algorithm that uses this measure to explore automatically objects or scenes.

Information Theory Tools for Viewpoint Selection, Mesh Saliency and Geometry Simplification
In this chapter we review the use of an information channel as a unified framework for viewpoint selection, mesh saliency and geometry simplification. Taking the viewpoint distribution as input and object mesh polygons as output vectors, the channel is given by the projected areas of the polygons over the different viewpoints. From this channel, viewpoint entropy and viewpoint mutual informatio...

Quality assurance programs of today’s car manufacturers show increasing demand for automated visual inspection tasks. A typical example is just-in-time checking of assemblies along production lines. Since high throughput must be achieved, object recognition and pose estimation heavily rely on offline preprocessing stages of available CAD data. In this paper, we propose a complete, universal fra...
متن کاملMultiple Viewpoint Systems for Music Prediction ∗
This paper examines the prediction and generation of music using a multiple viewpoint system, a collection of independent views of the musical surface each of which models a specific type of musical phenomena. Both the general style and a particular piece are modeled using dual short-term and long-term theories, and the model is created using machine learning techniques on a corpus of musical e...
متن کاملViewpoint Quality: Measures and Applications
Several methods that use the notion of viewpoint quality have been recently introduced in different areas of computer graphics, such as scene understanding, exploration of virtual worlds, radiosity and global illumination, image-based rendering and modelling. In this paper, we analyze the behavior of three different viewpoint quality measures. The first one is a heuristic measure, the second on...
