A sharp frontal view only demonstrates appearance from that view. The side may be unobserved, occluded or represented by unstable geometry that fits the frontal images. First determine whether the requested view is supported by capture coverage.
Define the viewing envelope
A doorway presentation and unrestricted inspection behind furniture require different evidence. Define an acceptance path and check whether the original images actually observe its important surfaces.
Stability near the capture path does not imply stability from arbitrary positions. Agree on navigation limits and starting views that serve the viewing task.
Inspect occlusion boundaries
Armrest edges, space behind legs and undersides may look plausible frontally and separate in side views. Check whether multiple camera centers observe those regions. More resolution from the same frontal position may not add missing geometry constraints.
Specular highlights also move with viewpoint. Distinguish changing appearance from broken silhouettes before choosing a remedy.
Hold out side views
Reserve comparable side-view images outside the training set. Inspect silhouettes, thin structures, occlusion order and local floaters rather than relying on one image-quality score.
Use the same evaluation path and output conditions when testing additional capture. A targeted small experiment is often more informative than simply extending training.
Sources and scope
Research synthesis and a proposed diagnostic workflow. Not an unprovided Visuloma case study or benchmark.
