Abstract

See full text

A system is configured to model a magnetic field by measuring a first value for characteristics of a magnetic field at a first position in the magnetic field. The system measures a second value characteristics of the magnetic field at a second position in the magnetic field. The system determines a distance between the first position and the second position. The system estimates a distortion component of the magnetic field at approximately the second position in the magnetic field based on each of the distance, the first value for each of the one or more characteristics, and the second value for each of the one or more characteristics. The system outputs a model of at least a region of the magnetic field.
