This paper addresses the problem of computing the optimal placement in
space from which a sensor can perform an inspection task, given a mod
el of the sensor and of the object to be inspected. We present briefly
the concept of visibility scripts for active inspection and concentra
te on stereo visibility, i.e., the optimal placement of a stereo head
within the visibility region of a feature. An algorithm for computing
stereo visibility scripts is presented, and its complexity and experim
ental performance discussed.
