Localization error depending on the starting point distance for one iteration. For each distance ds the start position has been moved from the dipole into 100 random directions. The mean remaining distance dr after one localization step is shown. The curves are plotted until the starting distance dr where the localization was still stable from all 100 directions. To get the result after multiple iterative localization steps, the dr-value has to be taken as the starting distance ds of the following step. We used the inner moments up to the 3rd order , , plotted in curves 3χ and the inner moments up to the 4th order , , , plotted in curves 4χ. The outer moments which were used to model the disturbing fields were none (curves χ0), 2nd order moments (curves χ2: homogeneous fields), 2nd and 3rd order moments (curves χ3: homogeneous and gradient fields), and 2nd to 4th order moments (curves χ4: external fields up to 2nd order).
