3D Data for the Evaluation of Point-Based, Rigid Body Registration Error

Published by National Institute of Standards and Technology | National Institute of Standards and Technology | Catalog Last Checked: August 02, 2025 at 01:49 PM | Dataset Last Updated: March 02, 2017
Datasets to evaluate the performance of point-based, rigid-body registration may be downloaded from this site. Registration is the process of transforming one coordinate frame to another coordinate frame. The datasets contain 3D position measurements obtained from three instruments: a laser tracker (LT), a motion capture system (System A), and a large-scale metrology system (System B). The positions are for points that are in a semi-regular, 5 x 5 x 5 grid. The grid covers a volume that is approximately (3 x 3 x 1.8) m [L x W x H]. The measurement uncertainties are ± 25e-03 mm for the laser tracker, ± 250e-03 mm for System B, while the accuracy of System A is only specified as sub-millimeter. The datasets for each instrument were collected in the instrument's local coordinate frame. The datasets contain measurements of 125 fiducials (points used for registration) and 16 test points. Test points are points that are not used for registration but to which a transformation is applied; these points are used to evaluate the performance of the registration.
