Techniques for determining an angular offset between two objects

A system comprising:

• one or more indicators, the one or more indicators located on a first tool of a drilling assembly configured for disposal subsurface;
• a sensing component located on a second tool of the drilling assembly, the sensing component including one or more sensors disposed thereon to capture data associated with the one or more indicators;
• wherein the first tool is disposed at a first position along the drilling assembly and the second tool is disposed at a second position along the drilling assembly;
• wherein the one or more indicators and the sensing component are configured for respective detachment from the first tool and the second tool prior to subsurface disposal of the tools on the drilling assembly;
• and
• a computing system configured to determine a relationship between the first tool and the second tool, wherein determining the relationship includes analyzing the data captured by the one or more sensors to determine an angular offset between the first tool and the second tool.

A method comprising:

• mounting a marking component adjacent to a first indicator on a first tool disposed at a first position along a drilling assembly configured for disposal subsurface;
• mounting a sensing component adjacent to a second indicator on a second tool disposed at a second position along the drilling assembly,
• wherein the sensing component includes a sensor disposed thereon;
• capturing data with the sensor, the data including data associated with the marking component;
• respectively detaching the marking component and the sensing component from the first tool and the second tool prior to subsurface disposal of the tools on the drilling assembly;
• and
• determining an angular offset between the first tool and the second tool using data captured by the sensor.
