A structured review and taxonomy of next-best-view strategies for 3D reconstruction by Bashar Alsadik, Hussein Alwan Mahdi, Nagham Amer Abdulateef

“…Consequently, NBV strategies have become diverse and uncategorized which makes it difficult for researchers and practitioners to navigate or standardize the methods. Therefore, in this paper, a comprehensive review was conducted to separate NBV methods into five distinct strategies: rule-based, uncertainty-based, sampling-based, learning-based, and prediction-based approaches. …”
