Abstract: An imaging system and methods are presented for determining a size of a viewed object through a monocular endoscope. The system includes an imaging device mounted on the endoscope, at least one light source disposed in a fixed position relative to the imaging device, and a processor configured to receive input from the imaging device and analyze at least one of shadow effect from the light source, structured lighting provided by the light source, multi-point illumination including the light source, time-of-flight involving light pulses from the light source, and lateral color aberrations from the light source to determine the size of the viewed object.

Abstract: Systems and methods related to combing multiple images are disclosed. An example method of combining multiple images obtained by an endoscope includes obtaining a first input image formed from a first plurality of pixels, wherein a first pixel of the plurality of pixels includes a first characteristic having a first value. The method also includes obtaining a second input image formed from a second plurality of pixels, wherein a second pixel of the second plurality of pixels includes a second characteristic having a second value. The method also includes subtracting the first value from the second value to generate a motion metric and generating a weighted metric map of the second input image using the motion metric.
