Claim 25:
26. 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:
determining, from the image data, an angle from the imaging element to one or more first navigation elements visible by the imaging element,
if:
a) the angles for all first navigation elements are below a first threshold angle relative to horizontal and
b) the lowest relative angles, when projected on to a horizontal plane, between the angles of all pairs of the first navigation elements either are below a second threshold angle lower than 90 degrees or above 180 degrees subtracted the second threshold angle,

then repositioning a first navigation element in the room, venue or scene to a position from which the angle from the imaging element to the repositioned navigation element:
c) is above the first threshold angle relative to horizontal or
d) has a relative angle relative to an angle of another first navigation element which, when projected on to the horizontal plane, is between the second threshold angle and 180 degrees subtracted the second threshold angle.
