Abstract: Interactive methods and systems for displaying measurements of objects and surfaces based on co-registered images and three-dimensional (“3D”) scene geometry. A scene is displayed from a first view, control points are designated within the scene, and 3D positions of the control points are computed. Thereafter, the scene and each respective control point is displayed from a second view, and the locations of the control points are adjusted as necessary to correspond to their desired locations in the second view. New 3D positions for the control points are computed accordingly. A measurement is determined based on the computed 3D positions of the control points, and the measurement is displayed via a graphical user interface.
