A multi-segment illumination source, operates simultaneously with image acquisition, rotating around an optimal search area, collecting multi-image captures throughout the range. Using latest photometric stereo post image control processing technology, a high-quality result against a pre-defined model is identified. The Body Maker Recognition result is then tagged to the component for measurement result traceability, reported in conjunction with measurement data results.
