Claim 11:
12. A system for analyzing an object positioned within a patient, the system comprising:
an elongate body comprising an imaging sensor located at a distal end of the elongate body; and
a computer comprising instructions that, when executed by a processor of the computer, cause the computer to:
navigate the elongate body to a location within the patient and proximate to the object;
capture sequential images of the object with the imaging sensor while navigating the elongate body into different orientations, different positions, or both;
determine orientations and positions of the elongate body during the capture of the sequential images based on a set of sensor data;
compare the orientations and the positions of the elongate body determined based on the set of sensor data for at least one captured sequential image to the orientations and the positions determined based on the set of sensor data for at least another captured sequential image; and
analyze the sequential images of the object and the comparison of the set of sensor data to estimate a shape of the object.
