Geometry and image based view quality comparison for 3D models

In this work we present image-based approach to the best view selection for 3D objects. The proposed method is based on entropy measured in image domain. Several 3D models are used in the experiment. The results are compared to the well-known geometrical method based on perspective frustum entropy, a special case of viewpoint entropy.
