A Study of Tracking System Using Multiple Emitter Towers

Abstract:

This paper presents a simple and accurate coordinate transformation method for extending the tracking space of the Intersense IS-900 spatial and motion tracking system using multiple pre-configured emitter towers to form the emitter constellation, but without resorting to the use of a surveyor machine. The proposed approach uses the differences of positional coordinate readings from each emitter tower among a set of commonly viewed spatial points to calculate the parameters needed to define the coordinate transformation. By applying this method, the tracking accuracy using the entire emitter constellation can be achieved by less than 0.5 inches error in most of the working space, and as low as 0.2 inches error in the frontal part of the working space.
