Abstract

A vehicle for collecting image data of a target object for generating a classifier. The vehicle includes an image sensor and an electronic processor. The electronic processor is configured to determine a plurality of potential trajectories of the vehicle, determine, for each of the plurality of potential trajectories of the vehicle, a total number of views including the target object that would be captured by the image sensor as the vehicle moved along the respective trajectory, and determine a key trajectory of the vehicle from the plurality of potential trajectories based on the total number of views including the target of the key trajectory.
