Abstract :
In some model-based vision tasks, such as automatic inspection of industrial parts, a set of viewpoints must be planned for sampling all features of interest around the object. This paper presents the techniques of deciding the optimal viewpoint distribution and a shortest path through these viewpoints, which are achieved by the genetic algorithm and Christofides algorithm respectively
