View Planning Method Based on the Visual Region of the Vision System

Automatic reconstruction of unknown 3D objects has been of great importance in computer vision, pattern recognition and visualization. In this paper, a new view planning approach of generating 3D models automatically is proposed. The new algorithm incorporates the visual region of the vision system with the limit visual surface of the unknown model. The limit visual surface is modeled according to the knowledge of acquired object model. And the space positions of efficient viewpoints are determined according to the visual region of the system and the limit visual surface. The NBV position is the position that could obtain the maximal unknown surface area among the efficient viewpoints. The experimental results show that the method proposed is effective in practical implementation.
