This is basically how an optical CMM (OMM) works. There are tricks to determining and calibrating out alignment issues and determining snapshot viability, and you're touching on both of them. Very well done!

Oh wow, I didn't realize all it took to break the law was a middleman. This is why intent of law matters, not just the letter of it.
