Calculation of linear and angular reconstruction errors. is the scale-corrected location of a measured point at the angular setting . is similarly at the angular setting . Assuming is correctly measured at , the expected location at is shown as . The three-dimensional distance between the expected () and measured () locations supplies the linear error δtrans. The projection of the measured point to the circle in the regression plane is shown as . The angular difference between the expected and measured rotation provides the angular error (δrot) of the measurement. Sample values of δrot and δtrans are listed in Table 1. |
