ASTM E2919-14 PDF

1.1 Purpose-In this test method, metrics and procedures for collecting and analyzing data to determine the performance of a pose measurement system in computing the pose (position and orientation) of a rigid object are provided.

1.2 This test method applies to the situation in which both the object and the pose measurement system are static with respect to each other when measurements are performed. Vendors may use this test method to establish the performance limits for their six degrees of freedom (6DOF) pose measurement systems. The vendor may use the procedures described in 9.2 to generate the test statistics, then apply an appropriate margin or scaling factor as desired to generate the performance specifications. This test method also provides a uniform way to report the relative or absolute pose measurement capability of the system, or both, making it possible to compare the performance of different systems.

1.3 Test Location-The methodology defined in this test method shall be performed in a facility in which the environmental conditions are within the pose measurement system's rated conditions and meet the user's requirements.

1.4 Units-The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.

1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
