1. A system for sensing a surface of an object, comprising:
- a light source for emitting at least two incident hollow conical light beams centered on an optical axis of the system;
a light reflector for reflecting the at least two incident hollow conical light beams to generate at least two reflected hollow conical light beams centered on the optical axis and having different opening angles, the at least two reflected hollow conical light beams for illuminating the surface; and
an image capture device for imaging the illuminated surface.
