Least Squares Fit of a Plane<br />

Let us suppose we are given a set of po<strong>in</strong>ts <strong>in</strong> the form z = z(x, y),<br />

i.e. we are given z i values for the po<strong>in</strong>ts ly<strong>in</strong>g at a set of known (x i , y i )<br />

positions.<br />

The equation of a plane can be written as<br />

z = ax + by + c.<br />

1<br />

For a given po<strong>in</strong>t P i = (x i , y i , z i ) the error <strong>in</strong> the fit is measured by<br />

σ i = z i − (ax i + by i + c).<br />
