Abstract
The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for image capture. Namely, an image capture system may include a camera configured to capture images of a field of view, a display, and a controller. An initial image of the field of view from an initial camera pose may be captured. An obstruction may be determined to be observable in the field of view. Based on the obstruction, at least one desired camera pose may be determined. The at least one desired camera pose includes at least one desired position of the camera. A capture interface may be displayed, which may include instructions for moving the camera to the at least one desired camera pose. At least one further image of the field of view from the at least one desired camera pose may be captured. Captured images may be processed to remove the obstruction from a background image.
