Effect of the Scattering Indicatrix on the Accuracy of Measurement of Distances by the Optical Triangulation Method

  • Published:
Measurement Techniques Aims and scope

Abstract

Theoretical data are given from calculations of how the scattering indicatrix and the parameters of the optical system (only diffraction distortion is taken into account, without aberration effects) affect the accuracy of measurement and, hence, the spatial position of a surface. Estimations of the systematic error of measurement are also given.
