ABSTRACT:
A method of determining a geometric parameter of a machine includes using the machine to obtain an image of at least a portion of a structure, the structure having a plurality of markers, wherein the markers have predetermined position(s) relative to each other, determining a position of the structure based on a pattern of the markers in the image, and determining a geometric parameter of the machine based at least in part on the determined position of the structure.
