A system for mitigating oversampling of data points, the system comprising: a medical device comprising a sensor, wherein the medical device is insertable in an anatomic passageway of a patient such that the sensor is operable to detect one or both of a position and a motion of the medical device when inserted in the anatomic passageway; and a computing device in communication with the medical device, the computing device comprising a processor, and a memory coupled to the processor and storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the system to perform operations comprising: receiving data points detected by the sensor of the medical device, the received data points associated with one or both of the detected position and the detected motion of the medical device; analyzing a set of the received data points to determine a motion parameter associated with a movement or change in position of the sensor of the medical device in a region of the anatomic passageway, wherein the motion parameter includes a change of one or both of a translational motion and a rotational motion of the sensor; comparing the motion parameter to a threshold to determine whether to accept the set of data points when the motion parameter satisfies the threshold or to reject the set of data points when the motion parameter does not satisfy the threshold; and recording the accepted set of data points in a survey point cloud usable to register the medical device in an anatomic frame of reference space. a medical device comprising a sensor, wherein the medical device is insertable in an anatomic passageway of a patient such that the sensor is operable to detect one or both of a position and a motion of the medical device when inserted in the anatomic passageway; and a computing device in communication with the medical device, the computing device comprising a processor, and a memory coupled to the processor and storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the system to perform operations comprising: receiving data points detected by the sensor of the medical device, the received data points associated with one or both of the detected position and the detected motion of the medical device; analyzing a set of the received data points to determine a motion parameter associated with a movement or change in position of the sensor of the medical device in a region of the anatomic passageway, wherein the motion parameter includes a change of one or both of a translational motion and a rotational motion of the sensor; comparing the motion parameter to a threshold to determine whether to accept the set of data points when the motion parameter satisfies the threshold or to reject the set of data points when the motion parameter does not satisfy the threshold; and recording the accepted set of data points in a survey point cloud usable to register the medical device in an anatomic frame of reference space. receiving data points detected by the sensor of the medical device, the received data points associated with one or both of the detected position and the detected motion of the medical device; analyzing a set of the received data points to determine a motion parameter associated with a movement or change in position of the sensor of the medical device in a region of the anatomic passageway, wherein the motion parameter includes a change of one or both of a translational motion and a rotational motion of the sensor; comparing the motion parameter to a threshold to determine whether to accept the set of data points when the motion parameter satisfies the threshold or to reject the set of data points when the motion parameter does not satisfy the threshold; and recording the accepted set of data points in a survey point cloud usable to register the medical device in an anatomic frame of reference space.
