15.1 Terms and abbreviations
Term Description
3D image A point cloud where the object shape is represented by three
coordinates.
block In the GigE Vision transport protocol a frame is named block.
buffer Each frame will be received in the PC as one buffer.
frame In Areascan mode: One 2D image.
In Linescan3D mode: A set of 3D profiles. Each line in the frame is
created from one 2D image.
frame rate The rate at which the frames are captured (Hz) in Areascan mode.
GUI Graphical User Interface
height map, depth map A frame where the values represent height or depth and not inten‐
sity.
intensity The intensity value of the pixels in a 2D sensor image.
line Contains one value for each measured point along a cross-section
of the object. Same thing as profile.
line rate The rate at which the lines in a frame are captured (Hz).
MTTF Mean Time To Failure
NIC Network Interface Card
profile Contains one value for each measured point along a cross-section
of the object. Same thing as line.
reflectance The reflected peak intensity of the laser line when measuring 3D
profiles.
ROCC Rapid On-Chip Calculation
ROI Region Of Interest, the selected range, area or volume of meas‐
ured data.
scan (verb) To collect measurements made by the 3D camera at one point in
time. That is the same thing as capturing one single profile.
SFNC Standard Features Naming Convention
SoC System on Chip
WAM Window Around Maximum
