Abstract:
A method for calibrating a magnetic source of an electromagnetic tracking system for tracking a position and orientation of an object using an inertial motion unit (IMU) mounted to the magnetic source and aligned with the coil array of magnetic source. Pitch and rolls angles of the coil array are calibrated using the IMU.
