Bayesian Estimation Applied to Stochastic Localization with Constraints due to Interfaces and Boundaries

Table 3

Statistical values about the estimation results of 3D cone beam geometry for cases (A)–(E) with 10,000 sample points each are presented for the three 3D estimators. The radial estimation error is presented at first and the coordinate estimation errors of ( ) are shown in brackets. The same formulas described as in the caption of Table 2 results are utilized.
