picoScan100: 2D Object Detection parameter "Distance-dependent"

Used picoScan100 firmware: V1.5.0

Additional information: 

The Distance Dependent parameter defines whether two objects are recognized as separate objects or as a single object, based on the specified distance delta. The video shows this with a practical example. Setup: Two objects in the scene. Foreground object width ≈ 60 mm. Background object width ≈ 250 mm. Axial separation ≈ 450 mm.

Steps in video:

1. Standard Blanking = 300 mm, distance-dependent feature = OFF
   Result: Field is infringed. Rationale: Both objects merge into one contiguous object > 300 mm.

2. Standard Blanking = 300 mm, distance-dependent feature = ON, separation threshold = 300 mm
   Result: Field is not infringed. Rationale: Objects are ≥ 300 mm apart, so they are treated as separate; each individual width < 300 mm.

3. Standard Blanking = 300 mm, distance-dependent feature = ON, separation threshold = 500 mm
   Result: Field is infringed. Rationale: Objects are < 500 mm apart, thus merged; combined width > 300 mm.
