Abstract
The articulation angle is an important characteristic to quantify for open loop control and/or closed loop control of a medical instrument comprising an elongated body. The articulation angle may be computed using various techniques including using inverse trigonometric functions on vector representations of elongated body poses. The technique may involve projecting the vectors onto a measurement plane having a normal vector. The technique enable differentiation between positive and negative articulation directions. Additionally, the technique can enable the articulation angle to be computed even for high articulation angles, e.g., more than 180 degrees. The so computed articulation may be used for open loop or closed loop control of the elongated body.
