    Abstract: Systems and methods for endoscopic operations are described. For example, the disclosure provides an endoscopic system with an endoscope support configured to hold an endoscope. The endoscope includes a shaft and an image capturer positioned at a distal end of the shaft, the image capturer configured to capture an image. The endoscopic system further includes a cannula support configured to hold a cannula, with the image capturer being insertable through the cannula. The endoscopic system also includes a controller with a processor, the controller configured to determine a pose of a point of the endoscope based on a first location of a first point and a second location of a second point, the first point being of the endoscope and the second point being of the cannula, where the pose of the point is a pose of a frame of reference originating at the point.
