<p>A laser based tracking unit (100) communicates with a target (150) to obtain position information about the target. Specifically, the target is placed at the point to be measured. The pitch, yaw and roll of the target, and the spherical coordinates of the target relative to the tracking unit are then obtained. Then additional information regarding a probe (610) attached to the target reconciled with the above determination to determine a position of a probe tip (620). The target can be, for example, an active device incorporated into a moveable device such a remote controlled robot.</p> |
