Abstract

A viewpoint of a 3D object is the position from which we observe the object. A viewpoint always highlights some 3D parts and discards other parts of an object. Here, we define a good viewpoint as offering a relevant view of the object: a view that best showcases the object and that is the most representative of the object. Best view selection plays an essential role in many computer vision and virtual reality applications. In this paper, given a model and a particular viewpoint, we want to quantify its relevance -not aesthetics. We propose a geometric method for selecting the most relevant viewpoint for a 3D object by combining visibility and view-dependent saliency. Evaluating the quality of an estimated best viewpoint is a challenge. Thus, we propose an evaluation protocol that considers two different and complementary solutions: a user study with more than 200 participants to collect human preferences and an analysis of image dataset picturing objects of interest. This evaluation highlights the correlation between our method and human preferences. A quantitative comparison demonstrates the efficiency of our approach over reference methods.
