Abstract
Tissue surface tracking of tissue features is disclosed. First surface imaged features are tracked based on the first and second time spaced images at a first wavelength. Second surface imaged features are tracked based on the first and second time spaced tissue surface images at the second wavelength. Tracking metrics are obtained based on the tracking steps. The tracking steps are combined to provide a combined tracking metric. The combined tracking metric is used in a tissue surface navigation application.
