Claim 15:
16. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein:
the two or more cameras comprise at least four cameras;
a majority of the plurality of structured light projectors and the at least four cameras are arranged in at least two rows that are each approximately parallel to a longitudinal axis of the probe, the at least two rows comprising at least a first row and a second row;
a distal-most camera along the longitudinal axis and a proximal-most camera along the longitudinal axis of the at least four cameras are positioned such that their optical axes are at an angle of 90 degrees or less with respect to each other from a line of sight that is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis; and
cameras in the first row and cameras in the second row are positioned such that optical axes of the cameras in the first row are at an angle of 90 degrees or less with respect to optical axes of the cameras in the second row from a line of sight that is coaxial with the longitudinal axis of the probe.
