Converting between coordinate systems

摘要

In one embodiment of the present invention, a first set of coordinates for a plurality of locations in a symmetric environment is accessed. The first set of coordinates are defined by a position determining system disposed in the symmetric environment which uses a first coordinate system. A second set of coordinates for the plurality of locations in the symmetric environment are accessed. The second set of coordinates are defined by a second coordinate system. The first set of coordinates are correlated with the second set of coordinates. Then, at least one matrix is determined that is useable to convert a set of coordinates defined by the first coordinate system to a corresponding set of coordinates defined by the second coordinate system.
