Classification: CPC A  G | IPC A

Claim 11:
12. The measurement system of claim 1, wherein:
prior to the identification of the matched 2D endpoint corresponding to the feature as represented in the second image, the at least one physical computing device further:
identifies, based on the user-selected 2D endpoint, a low-confidence matched 2D endpoint,
determines a match confidence value for the low-confidence matched 2D endpoint,
determines that the match confidence value is below a predetermined confidence threshold, and
identifies, based on the user-selected 2D endpoint and in response to the determination that the match confidence value is below the predetermined confidence threshold, a replacement 2D endpoint corresponding to the feature, the replacement 2D endpoint distinct from the user-selected 2D endpoint;

the identification of the matched 2D endpoint corresponding to the feature as represented in the second image is based on the user-selected 2D endpoint by being based on the replacement 2D endpoint that is identified based on the user-selected 2D endpoint; and
the definition of the 3D endpoint corresponding to the feature is based on the user-selected 2D endpoint by being based on the replacement 2D endpoint that is identified based on the user-selected 2D endpoint.
