Claim 15:
16. A method of registering a 3D model to a luminal network comprising:
generating a 3D model of a luminal network from a pre-procedure image data set;
identifying a first region of the luminal network and a second region of the luminal network;
conducting a survey of the luminal network;
generating a 3D model of the luminal network from data captured during the survey;
applying a transform to the 3D model of the luminal network generated from the pre-procedure image data set to approximate the 3D model of the luminal network generated from the data captured during the survey; wherein the transform model includes applying a moving window from the first region to the second region of the luminal network, and performing a rigid registration in the moving window.
