The high-pressure drift tube chambers for the muon spectrometer of the ATLAS detector at the LHC have to provide a track position resolution of 40 μm. The chambers consist of two triple or quadruple layers of drift tubes of 30 mm diameter with a average spatial resolution of 80 μm. The precise knowledge of the space-to-drift-time relation r(t) to better than 20 μm is mandatory. It has to be recalibrated every few hours during ATLAS data taking using muon tracks from a dedicated data stream. The data of the stream will be processed at three calibration centres such that a new drift chamber calibration will be provided within a few hours after data taking. We shall present the drift-chamber calibration concepts, the key features of the calibration algorithms, and the results of the calibration of cosmic muon data recorded by the ATLAS detector.
