Abstract
Disclosed herein is a method for sensing one or more selected parameters related to a structure of interest, for example, the shape of an isolated structure. A cable is attached to the structure of interest at one or more attachment points. The cable contains one or more optical fibers. One or more light signals are transmitted into the one or more optical fibers and then detected to form a data set. The data set is compared with information known about the one or more attachment points to determine error values. The error values are then combined with the data set to determine the selected parameters associated with the structure.
