Best View of 3D Scene

The computation of good viewpoints is useful in many fields: exploration of virtual worlds, global illumination, robot motion, radiosity, imagebased modeling, etc. The main goal of the thesis was to implement several methods for computing the optimal viewpoint of a 3D scene. Two methods have been implemented - Heuristic Measure and Viewpoint Entropy. In addition, a modification of the first method, Weighted Heuristic Measure, was created and tested to find the values that give the best results. For the purpose of method evaluation, a simple application was developed, which loads a 3D scene and runs the implemented methods
