Some hazards you may look for is when you're scanning, you may have objects that move around. Certainly don't use these as targets. That could be chairs, it could be ladders, because from one scan to another, if a condition has changed, that cloud to cloud registration may be a problem. And definitely don't put sears or targets on moveable objects.
