[meteorite-list] Impressive Viewer Interactive HD Curiosity Camera.

They are called alignment marks, fiducials, fiduciary markers, 
registration targets... lots of different things, depending on the lingo 
of the user (printers, doctors, imagers, etc). Presumably they are 
located at carefully controlled locations on the rover in order to 
provide references for image geometry.
