Claim 16:
17. An endoscopic system, comprising:
an endoscopic imager configured to capture image frames of a target site within a living body;
a processor configured to:
apply a spatial transform to a preliminary set of image frames, the spatial transform converting the image frames into cylindrical coordinates;
calculate a map image from the spatially transformed image frames, each pixel position in the map image being defined with a vector of fixed dimension;
apply the spatial transform to a current image frame;
fuse the spatially transformed current image frame to the map image to generate a fused image; and
apply an inverse spatial transform to the fused image; and

a display configured to display the enhanced current image frame.
