Polaris Vicra Calibration Performance and Methodology
The accuracy of the Polaris Vicra System is calculated as the RMS variation of the mean of m
readings about the true 3D location calculated across all n locations throughout the measurement
volume.
The repeatability of the Polaris Vicra System is calculated as the RMS variation of the m readings
about the average of the 3D readings at each location n. This RMS variation is calculated across all
n locations throughout the measurement volume.
