Registration errors in augmented reality systems

67 Citations1996Richard L. Holloway

A mathematical error model enables the system architect to determine which error sources are the most significant and the sensitivity of the net registration error to each error, and the nature of the distortions caused by each type of error facilitates identification and correction of errors in the calibration process.
