Method and apparatus for determining optimal projection images

Method for determining optimal projection images of an object, particularly an asymmetrical object, the method comprising the following steps: a) generating a three-dimensional surface reconstruction of the object from two or more bi-dimensional images of the object which have been obtained from different perspectives; b) receiving from a user indications for locating a section of interest on the 3D reconstruction; c) determining a plane containing optimal views in terms of foreshortening for this section of interest, wherein step b) comprises receiving from the user the position of a point or area of interest in at least one of the bi-dimensional images used for the three-dimensional reconstruction of the object as in step a), the method further comprising the steps of d) determining, on the three-dimensional surface, a 3D equivalent point of the point or area of interest; e) selecting among the optimal views as determined in step c) those containing the 3D equivalent point as defined in step d). A corresponding apparatus and computer program are also disclosed.
