Occlusions and the next view planning

The strategy of acquiring 3-D data of unknown scenes is discussed. The analysis is limited to range images obtained by a light stripe range finder. Prior knowledge given to the system is the knowledge of the sensor geometry. The emphasis on the occluded regions, i.e. their shape and the height of the scene at their borders. Since the system has knowledge of the sensor geometry it can resolve the appearance of occlusions by analyzing them.<
