Claim 16:
17. A method comprising:
positioning a distal end of a scope inside a body cavity, wherein the distal end of the scope includes a camera;
receiving, at a processor, image data of an object inside the body cavity from the camera;
generating from the image data, with the processor, a representation of the object and the body cavity;
determining from the representation, with the processor, a size of the object on a scale for the representation, wherein determining the size of the object includes establishing, with an interface device, a first reference point and a second reference point on the representation of the object;
comparing, with the processor, the size of the object with a predetermined maximum size to determine a removal status of the object by:
determining a first removal status when the size of the object is greater than the predetermined maximum size; and
determining a second removal status when the size of the object is less than the predetermined maximum size; and
generating, with the processor, a representation to include one or more indicators responsive to the removal status by overlaying either a first indicator onto the representation based on the first removal status or a second indicator onto the representation based on the second removal status.
