Original Abstract Submitted
a method for determining a location at which an unobstructed view of a target location is obtained, includes capturing an image of an environment which includes a target location; accessing target location data, wherein the target location data comprises information associated with the environment and the target location; determining, based on the target location data and a spatial relationship between the target location and one or more objects in the image which obstruct a view of the target location, at least one suitable location of a user device from which an unobstructed view of the target location is within a field of view of the user device and satisfies one or more criteria; and providing a guided human-machine interaction process to assist a user associated with the user device in re-locating the user device to the at least one suitable location.
