Abstract
A system and method that identifies an object and a viewpoint from an image with a probability that satisfies a predefined criterion is described. An active view planning application receives a first image, performs recognition on the first image to determine an object, a viewpoint and a probability of recognition, determines a first expected gain in the probability of recognition when a first action is taken and a second expected gain in the probability of recognition when a second action is taken, and identifies a next action from the first action and the second action based on an increase in expected gains.
