Abstract
Methods and systems for acquiring and ranking image sets are described. In an example, a computing device may be configured to determine a feature-based score that may be based on features of the object including geometry of the object. The computing device also may be configured to receive a plurality of sets of images of the object. A number of respective images of each set of images may be based on the feature-based score. The computing device further may be configured to determine for each set of images a respective image-based score based on a prospective three-dimensional (3D) visualization of the object to be generated by a merged output of that set of images. The computing device also may be configured to determine a respective ranking for each set of images based on the respective image-based score; and select a set of images based on the respective ranking.
