One embodiment relates to a method in which a measuring apparatus is used to collect a first set of wave form data which depends on micro-structure of a moving surface. A correspondence is identified between the first set of wave form data and actual position data. Calibrated wave form data is stored which indicates said correspondence between the first set of wave form data and actual position data. In addition, the measuring apparatus may be used to collect a second set of wave form data which depends on micro-structure of the moving surface, a cross-correlation may be computed between the second set of wave form data and the calibrated wave form data. Another embodiment relates to an apparatus for measuring position and/or motion using surface micro-structure of a moving surface. Another embodiment relates to method for measuring motion using surface micro-structure. Other embodiments and features are also disclosed. |
