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 . |
