ABSTRACT:
A method for use with a non-contact range finding and measurement system for generating a template guide representative of the surface of a observed object, and for utilizing the template guide to improve laser stripe signal to noise ratios and to compensate for corrupted regions in images of the observed object to improve measurement accuracy.
