Abstract: A method includes displaying visual guidance for guiding a user through an endoscopic camera calibration process. The visual guidance guides the user to direct an endoscopic camera at a plurality of different regions of a field of calibration markers. Images captured by the endoscopic camera while the user directs the endoscopic camera at the calibration markers are received. Suitability of images for use in calibration for the endoscopic camera is determined. In accordance with determining that at least one image is suitable for use in calibration, the visual guidance is updated to indicate to the user that the respective region of the plurality of different regions of the field of calibration markers has been successfully imaged. Calibration factors for calibrating the endoscopic camera are determined based on images determined to be suitable for use in calibration for the endoscopic camera.
