8 •  C4-1280-GigE Camera Hardware Reference Manual Rev. 1.8 
Geometry 3 
The camera views the object under an angle α, while the laser line is projected under a different 
angle β. 
The height resolution can be approximated: ∆Z ≈ ∆X * cos(β) / sin(α + β), 
in case α= β (direct reflex) : ∆Z ≈ ∆X / 2* sin(α)

Geometry 4 
The camera views the object under an angle α, while the laser line is projected under a different 
angle β at the camera side. 
The height resolution can be approximated: ∆Z ≈ ∆X * cos(β) / sin(α - β),
