Abstract

An image of a region of interest (ROI) is identified from a first perspective, the image having an uncertainty value associated with the ROI. A model is generated comprising one or more parameters associated with the ROI based on the image. A plurality of tracking quality metrics for a plurality of perspectives that a subsequent image may be captured from by an imaging system of the ROI are determined using the model, the tracking quality metrics indicating a reduction of the uncertainty value associated with the ROI by the subsequent image. A second perspective of the plurality of perspectives for the subsequent image is selected based on a corresponding tracking quality metric of the plurality of tracking quality metrics for the second perspective indicating a reduction of the uncertainty value.
