Abstract
Apparatuses, computer readable medium, and methods for image capturing while circumnavigating objects using mobile devices are disclosed. Example methods include capturing an image, processing the image to identify an object within the image, determining a path around the object and a number of images to capture of the object, dividing the path by the number of images to determine a number of waypoints, and navigating the mobile device to the waypoints and capturing an image of the object at each waypoint of the waypoints. Examples include a person pointing at an object and the mobile device identifying the object based on the person pointing at the object. The mobile device determines a bounding box and a geometric center of the bounding box to determine the path to circumnavigate the object. The mobile device determines a height above a ground to assist in navigation.
