Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9721069A1] A sensing system which includes a surface sensing device (20) is provided for generating a representation of an object (22) using an array of sensing elements (23) that may have a sensing pin and a cylindrical housing. The sensing elements (23) generate a signal representing a height of various points on the surface of the object (22) relative to a reference plane. The sensing elements (23) may be resistive sensing elements or capacitive sensing elements.
