Patent ID: 7301680

Claim:
A system, comprising: a moving mechanism to selectively move the object at a first substantially constant speed during scanning; a scanning mechanism including an optical sensor, with the scanning mechanism to selectively move the optical sensor at a second substantially constant speed during the scanning; and a controller configured to replace first data from measurement of reflected light from a first section of the object, corresponding to a deceleration distance of the object, during deceleration of the object, with second data from measurement of reflected light from the first section, the controller including a configuration to actuate the scanning mechanism to move the optical sensor in a first direction the object moves during the scanning for a first distance substantially equal to a sum of the deceleration distance of the object and an acceleration distance of the object, the controller including a configuration to actuate the moving mechanism to move the first section of the object past the optical sensor at the first substantially constant speed in the first direction, the controller including a configuration to actuate the moving mechanism to move the first section of the object past the optical sensor at the first substantially constant speed in the first direction, and the controller including a configuration to cause the measurement of the reflected light used to generate the second data from the first section with the optical sensor during the relative movement between the first section and the optical sensor at the first substantially constant speed.
