Abstract
A system and method for collecting distortion compensation data to continually update and improve a distortion compensation algorithm for correcting position and orientation (PnO) information regarding an object tracked. The method may be performed while the object is freely in motion. Collection of the distortion compensation data is based on a first PnO solution based on the first PnO measurement data and irrespective of the second PnO measurement data, and a second PnO solution based on a correction algorithm that includes the first PnO measurement data, the second PnO measurement data, and PnO correction data. The first and second PnO solutions may be added to the PnO correction data to continually update and improve the distortion compensation algorithm.
