A method for optically determining a physical attribute of a moving object, such as the height h of the carbons 14 of a pantograph head 10. This method incorporates a method for optically 5 establishing a mathematical spatial relationship between one or more cameras 26 and one or more fanned lasers 24 each capable of projecting a laser beam along a laser plane 28. The method comprises: establishing an orientation and location of each camera 26 with respect to a co-ordinate system; 10 establishing an orientation of each laser plane 28 within the co-ordinate system; and deriving a transformation function for calculating the three dimensional position of points within the plane 28 of each respective laser beam from a pixel location within a pixelated image created by each of the cameras. 2GOS6_1 (GHMatters) P52313AU.2 Rb J6b U v V oV |
