Grid Scan Collection

A Conquest grid scan consists of collecting a series of parallel line scans in two directions
perpendicular to one another (Figure 4-10).
Figure 4-10:Grid Scans are based on collecting multiple line scans in two directions on a grid.
Together, these line scans sample a 3D volume or cube of concrete. This is shown conceptually
in Figure 4-11a. Processing the data results in a solid data volume, again, conceptually shown in
Figure 4-11b.

gaps between lines to produce a solid volume.
