Abstract
Finding good viewpoints for catoptric anamorphoses by hand is hard. However, it should be possible to find the optimal viewpoint using just the specifications of the mirror. This problem is solved by first generating a set of candidate viewpoints using the specifications of the mirror. Then all candidates are ranked based on metrics like visible surface area. The optimal is then easily found.
