Abstract
A sensor system and method for analyzing a feature in a sensing volume is provided. The system receives image data from a sensor, where the image data including peaks corresponding to the intersection of laser lines with the feature. The system generates a dynamic window based on the entropy of the peaks.
Claims20
A sensor system for analyzing a feature in a sensing volume, the sensor system comprising:
- a mounting structure;
- a laser source being attached to the mounting structure and configured to project a plurality of laser lines onto the feature;
- a sensor being attached to the mounting structure and configured to image the intersection of the laser lines with the feature;
- a controller in communication with the sensor to receive image data;
- the image data including peaks corresponding to the intersection of the laser lines with the feature where the controller is configured to generate a dynamic window based on the entropy of the peaks.
