1. A welding system comprising: a first position detection system configured to generate a first output corresponding to a first position and a first orientation of a welding torch during a welding session for a weld, wherein the first position detection system comprises a line-of-sight based position detection system configured to detect a portion of the welding torch, wherein the first output is based at least in part on the detected portion of the welding torch; a second position detection system configured to generate a second output corresponding to a second position and a second orientation of the welding torch during the welding session for the weld, wherein the second position detection system is independent of the first position detection system; and a controller coupled to the first position detection system and to the second position detection system, wherein the controller is configured to determine welding parameters during the welding session based at least in part on the first output, the second output, or any combination thereof, and the controller is configured to determine the welding parameters based only on the second output when the portion of the welding torch is obscured from the line-of-sight based position detection system, wherein the welding parameters comprise a work angle of the welding torch, a travel angle of the welding torch, a contact tip to work distance, a travel speed of the welding torch along a path of the weld, an aim of the welding torch, or any combination thereof.
