A method and system for tracking an object (3) within a volume, includes coupling a rotating magnetic dipole (2) to the object (3), measuring (4) the magnetic fields either remotely, on the surface of, or exterior to the volume, to produce measurements; and based on the measurements, determining the position and the orientation of the magnetic dipole (2), thereby to determine a position and orientation of the object (3). <IMAGE> |
