Abstract

See full text

An electromagnetic tracking system (600) and a distortion compensation method (500) that utilize a lead-lag network model to compensate for position and orientation distortion caused by eddy currents formed in one or more conductive distorters (330, 658A-C) located within a tracking environment during electromagnetic tracking of one or more objects (612). the method is adaptive relative to the amount of distortion cause by the conductive distorters.
