Mapping Planning

Optimizing Your Scanning Approach

Plan an efficient path when scanning smaller spaces, keeping a distance of 0.5-4m from surfaces and using a fronto-parallel approach (scan objects directly in front of you).

Follow these key principles:

• Create a circular path along boundaries that covers all important features without overlapping

• Position start and end points near each other to avoid duplicating scans

• Scan tables and flat structures from one side only

• Skip inaccessible areas behind or beneath objects users won't approach

• Be aware that complex objects like plants are difficult to capture accurately

• Avoid scanning transparent or reflective surfaces, or cover them if necessary

Scanning empty rooms provides insufficient features for MultiSet VPS for localization
