To capture the geometry of an object by an autonomous system, next best view (NBV) planning can be used to determine the path a robot will take. However, current NBV planning algorithms do not distinguish between objects that need to be mapped and everything else in the environment; leading to inefficient search strategies. In this paper we present a novel approach for NBV planning that accounts f...
