Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for directed image capture of a subject of interest, such as a home. Directed image capture can produce higher quality images such as more centrally located within a display and/or viewfinder of an image capture device, higher quality images have greater value for subsequent uses of captured images such as for information extraction or model reconstruction. Graphical guide(s) facilitate content placement for certain positions and quality assessments for the content of interest can be calculated such as for pixel distance of the content of interest to a centroid of the display or viewfinder, or the effect of obscuring objects. Quality assessments can further include instructions for improving the quality of the image capture for the content of interest.
