Claim 5:
6. The measurement system of claim 1, wherein:
subsequent to the identification of the matched 2D endpoint corresponding to the feature as represented in the second image and prior to the definition of the 3D endpoint corresponding to the feature, the at least one physical computing device further:
identifies, based on the matched 2D endpoint, a reverse-matched 2D endpoint corresponding to the feature as represented in the first image, and
determines, based on the user-selected and reverse-matched 2D endpoints, a match confidence value for the matched 2D endpoint; and

the definition of the 3D endpoint corresponding to the feature is further based on the match confidence value for the matched 2D endpoint.
