Tracking, Calibration, and Registration
• Registration = alignment of spatial properties
• Calibration = offline adjustment of
measurements
• Spatial calibration yields static registration
• Offline: once in lifetime or once at startup no calib

Global Positioning System
• Planet-scale outside-in radiowave time-of-flight
• Requires clock synchronization
• Must receive signals from at least 4 satellites
satellites
GPS receiver

Differential GPS
• Compensate for atmospheric distortion
• Receive correction signal from base station via network
• Real-Time Kinematics (RTK) Differential GPS also uses signal phase
satellites

Magnetometer
• Electronic compass
• Measure direction of Earth
magnetic field in 3D
• Principle: magnetoresistance
(Hall effect)
• Often very distorted watch
