1. A method for determining a relative pose between a primary winding structure and a secondary winding structure of a system for inductive power transfer comprising:
receiving, with at least one processor, data associated with a signal, wherein the data associated with the signal comprises a signal characteristic of the signal, the signal characteristic comprises an electrical characteristic that indicates a relationship between a primary winding structure and a secondary winding structure;
determining, with the at least one processor, a relative pose between the primary winding structure and the secondary winding structure based on the signal characteristic of the signal, wherein the relative pose denotes at least one of (a) a difference in position and (b) a difference in orientation between the primary winding structure and the secondary winding structure in a coordinate system, wherein determining the relative pose comprises:
determining the relative pose based on a function that comprises one or more adjustable parameters, wherein the one or more adjustable parameters are based on environmental influences of the system for inductive power transfer that includes the primary winding structure and the secondary winding structure; and
outputting, with the at least one processor, the relative pose.
