A method and apparatus for performing a calibration and navigation of a member. The member (80) may be calibrated relative to a selected portion, such as a sensor (58) on an instrument (52). The calibrated member (80) may then be navigated with a selected system (10). The calibration technique can be infinitely flexible and not rigid or designed for specific components. Moreover, the calibration may occur when the member is interconnected to an end of the instrument that is non-co-axial with another end of the instrument.
L~invention concerne un procédé et un appareil de calibrage et de déplacement d~un élément. L~élément (80) peut être calibré par rapport à une pièce déterminée, comme un capteur (58) sur un instrument (52). L~élément calibré (80) peut alors être déplacé par un système déterminé (10). Le procédé de calibrage offre une souplesse infinie et n~est pas spécifiquement conçu pour des composants particuliers. Le calibrage peut en outre s~effectuer lorsque l~élément est raccordé à une extrémité de l~instrument qui n~est pas coaxiale à une autre extrémité de l~instrument.
