Toward global surface reconstruction by purposive viewpoint adjustment

Abstract
The following problem is considered: how should an observer change viewpoint in order to generate a dense image sequence of an arbitrary smooth surface so that it can be incrementally reconstructed using the occluding contour and the epipolar parameterization? A collection of qualitative behaviors is presented that, when integrated appropriately, purposefully control viewpoint based on the appearance of the surface in order to provably solve this problem.
