Abstract

A system for determining a height of a sensor includes a first triangle, a second triangle, a first rectangle, and a second rectangle. The sensor is positioned in a first plane and has a lapping surface. The first triangle, the second triangle, the first rectangle, and the second rectangle are each positioned in the first plane. A first point of the first triangle is positioned below the lapping surface of the sensor and a second point and a third point of the first triangle are positioned above the lapping surface of the sensor. A first point and a second point of the second triangle are positioned below the lapping surface of the sensor and a third point of the second triangle is positioned above the lapping surface of the sensor. A first portion of the first rectangle is positioned above the lapping surface of the sensor and a second portion is positioned below the lapping surface of the sensor. The second rectangle is positioned below the lapping surface of the sensor. A second plane in which the lapping surface of the sensor is located intersects the first triangle, the second triangle, the first rectangle, and the second rectangle. The height of the sensor is calculated throu…
