Abstract
At each of three different locations, a tracker captures a 2D image an object and measures three points in space at each of three tracker locations relative to the object. Based on this information, the tracker determines, in an object frame of reference, three-dimensional coordinates of an arbitrary point on an edge line common to the three 2D images.
