Calculation of linear and angular reconstruction errors. [{\bi p}_1] is the scale-corrected location of a measured point at the angular setting [{\psi _1}]. [{\bi p}_2] is similarly at the angular setting [{\psi _2}]. Assuming [{\bi p}_1] is correctly measured at [{\psi _1}], the expected location at [{\psi _2}] is shown as [{\bi p}_2^{\prime}]. The three-dimensional distance between the expected ([{\bi p}_2^{\prime}]) and measured ([{\bi p}_2]) locations supplies the linear error δtrans. The projection of the measured point [{\bi p}_2] to the circle in the regression plane is shown as [{\bi p}_2^{\prime\prime}]. 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[link].
