Seeing real-world examples of different scanning strategies can help you

decide what strategies might work for you.

This is a simple layout because each target is visible from every scanner

position. However, it is made more complicated by the fact that the crew

must stay out of the road. The four targets are placed in overlapping

areas on the sidewalk. In addition to the spherical targets used here,

you can also attach checkerboard targets to streetlights, signs, and other

objects in the scan area.
