Abstract
Techniques are disclosed for aligning fiducial markers that commonly exist in each of multiple different N-dimensional (N-D) data sets. Notably, the N-D data sets are at least three-dimensional (3D) data sets. A first set and a second set of N-D data are accessed. A set of one or more fiducial markers that commonly exist in both those sets are identified. Based on the fiducial markers, one or more transformations are performed to align the two sets. Performing this alignment process results in at least a selected number of the common fiducial markers that exist in the two sets being within a threshold alignment relative to one another.
