Hybrid Technology of ORBSCAN II
3. Unify triangulated and reflective data to obtain
accurate surfaces in elevation, slope, and curvature.
1. Measure surface elevation directly by triangulation
of backscattered
slit-beam.
2. Measure surface
slope directly using
specular reflection,
supplemented with
triangulated elevation.
