When using a camera at an angle to the objects surface, the object pixel sizes for the three arrays
are slightly different—this is due to parallax.
If the camera angle and the lens angular field of view are sufficiently large it may cause blurring at
the extremities of the image in TDI mode. The camera includes a Parallax feature that can correct
these artifacts.

Notes:
•
The selection of the line to adjust is dependent on positive or negative angle. It is not
sensitive to scan direction.
