Abstract
A system comprised of a controller; an endoscope comprised of a shaft, an image sensor, and a connector; and a target for viewing by the image sensor of the endoscope. The target includes one or more calibration objects. The controller is configured to receive image data indicative of the calibration objects from the image sensor, compare the image data with one or more predetermined thresholds, and calibrate one or more image sensor settings when the image data fails to meet the one or more predetermined thresholds.
