SENSOR SYSTEM HAVING A PLATEN WITH A DOME-SHAPED CONTACT SURFACE

摘要

A sensor system and a method for collecting information about a surface of an object are disclosed. The sensor has a plurality of detectors and a platen. The platen has a contact surface, at least part of which is dome-shaped. When the surface of an object is in contact with the contact surface, an energy signal may be sent to toward the contact surface, and the detectors may detect the reflected signal. The detected signal may be used to provide information about the object's surface, including an image of the surface.
