Measuring Principle
The C5-CS sensor acquires height profiles and height images based on the laser
triangulation principle. According to this method a laser line is projected on the object
from one direction. The imager sensor views the object from another angle defining the
triangulation geometry. The resulting sensor image is evaluated by the embedded
processor and converted into a single height profile. By scanning the laser line over the
object a complete height image can be acquired.
The figure below demonstrate the typical triangulation geometry. The following notation
is used in the approximation of height resolution:
Δ
X= resolution along the laser line (lateral),
Δ
Y= resolution perpendicular to the laser line (longitudinal in the direction of motion),
Δ
Z= height resolution.
Measurement Geometry
The laser line is projected perpendicular to the object surface, while the camera views
the object under the triangulation angle
α
. The height resolution can be approximated:
ΔZ ≈ ΔX / sin(α)
