Content
“Reference feature” refers to a feature configured for use as a point, plane, axis, or line of reference (aka a reference). A reference or reference feature can be used to position, measure, orient, fixation, couple, engage, and/or align one object or structure with another object or structure. In certain embodiments, a reference or reference feature can serve as a baseline, a ground truth, a waypoint, a control point, a landmark, and/or the like. A reference feature can facilitate moving from one coordinate system or frame of reference in a virtual environment to a position, location, frame of reference, environment, or orientation on, or in, an actual object, structure, device, apparatus, anatomical structure, or the like. Advantageously, a reference feature can coordinate objects, models, or structures in a digital or virtual model or representation with corresponding objects or structures (e.g., anatomical structures) of actual physical objects or structures. Said another way, a reference feature can serve to map from a virtual or modeled object to an actual or physical object.
