Accompanying Data for "A novel robot-assisted calibration procedure for Optical Coordinate Measuring Systems"

The processed data for each of the three datasets used in the study are presented here. In each dataset folder there are four text files containing point data. A brief description is given here. Units in m.

"Laser Tracker Position.txt" contains the 3D position data for each point measured with the laser tracker and Optitrack.

"Laser Tracker Difference.txt" contains the 3D error identified at each point in the "Laser Tracker Position.txt" file. As described in the paper, the error is calculated as the difference between the laser tracker and the Optitrack measurement at common points in space.

"Ball Bar A.txt" and "Ball Bar B.txt" contains the 3D position of each end of the ball bar (A & B), which makes up the mesh pattern. The rows in each file match such that the difference between each row is the measurement of the ball bar length at that location.
