Abstract

In one embodiment, a method of dynamic reference plane compensation, comprises impinging radiation from a first radiation source onto a surface of an object; generating an uncompensated measurement signal from radiation reflected from a first location on the surface and a second location; generating a compensation signal from radiation reflected from a third location and a fourth location on the surface; and generating a compensated measurement signal using the uncompensated measurement signal and the compensation signal.
