Abstract
The method of generating data for files containing information regarding three-dimensional surface configurations, involving selective compilation of area data through use of projected rays of differing orientation, recording of the radiation patterns produced by these rays on the surface, and correlation of records from overlapping fields of view to meld information from contiguous areas into a continuous data bank.
