Assignee: STRYKER CORPORATION
Field: Computer technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G  A | IPC A  G

Claim 24:
25. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing one or more programs for measuring three-dimensional distances, for execution by one or more processors of an electronic device that when executed by the device, cause the device to:
receive video data captured from an endoscopic imaging device configured to image an internal area of a patient;
capture one or more two-dimensional images of the internal area from the received video data, wherein an image of the one or more two-dimensional images comprises a visualization of an object, and wherein the object comprises one or more fiducial markers configured to indicate a pre-determined dimension of the object or the fiducial marker, or both;
generate a three-dimensional model of the internal area based on the captured one or more two-dimensional images;
determine a size of a three-dimensional area of the three-dimensional model based on the one or more fiducial markers of the object configured to indicate the pre-determined dimension;
identify a first point on the one or more two-dimensional images;
identify a second point on the one or more two-dimensional images; and
determine a three-dimensional measurement between the first point and the second point in the area based on the determined size of the three-dimensional area and the generated three-dimensional model of the area.
