Abstract

Although sensors are typically registered before the live event, a sensor's location, orientation and/or field of view can be altered during the event. A system for re-registering a sensor during a live event allows for the determination that a sensor is not properly registered. If such a determination is made, the system accumulates valid data during the live event. The valid data is compared to the data from the improperly registered sensor in order to determine the amount of error. The variables that define the sensor's registration are changed to reduce the error.
