Abstract: Endoscopic systems and methods use a multi-view camera tool inside the body, including airways of a lung, to capture images, and use a combination of positional informational from EM and/or IMU sensors of the multi-view camera tool to estimate image depth and generate a three-dimensional (3D) point cloud volume of the patient anatomy. The 3D point cloud volume is generated from a known vantage point using stereoscopic images captured by the camera tool. This 3D structure generation may use a stereo image rectification algorithm. A machine learning algorithm may also be applied in place of, or in combination with, an image rectification algorithm to improve computational efficiency.
