Abstract
An arrangement for determining the planar contour of an object including a plurality of light emitters and detectors positioned in a circular planar array. The circular array surrounds the object whose planar contour is being determined. The light emitters are sequentially energized and the resulting signals from the light detectors are utilized for determining the object's planar contour.
