Claim 16:
17. A system for analysing a scene, room or venue comprising a plurality of navigation elements, the system comprising:
an imaging element configured to provide image data at each of a plurality of positions in the scene/room/venue,
a processor configured to, for each position:
determine from the image data which navigation elements are visible from the pertaining position,
determine an angle from the imaging element to each of the visible navigation elements,
compare the angle(s) to predetermined information and determining whether all visible navigation elements are positioned with angles according to the predetermined information and
if the comparison identifies that a navigation element has been displaced relative to the predetermined information, either:
output instructions to reposition the navigation element to the original position or
update the predetermined information accordingly or
output instructions to position the navigation element at a new position where, for each first position of the positions from which the navigation element at the new position is visible, angles exist to all navigation elements visible from the pertaining first position, and where no other position exists having angles toward all navigation elements visible from the other position, which angles are within 10 degrees of the angles toward the navigation elements visible from the pertaining first position, and/or

if the comparison identifies that a navigation element is missing relative to the predetermined information, either:
output instructions to position a navigation element in the position of the missing navigation element or
update the predetermined information accordingly or
output instructions to position the navigation element at a new position where, for each first position of the positions from which the navigation element at the new position is visible, angles exist to all navigation elements visible from the pertaining first position, and where no other position exists having angles toward all navigation elements visible from the other position, which angles are within 10 degrees of the angles toward the navigation elements visible from the pertaining first position.
