Abstract

Systems and methods related to combing multiple images are disclosed. An example method of combining multiple images of a body structure includes capturing a first input image with a digital camera positioned at a first location at a first time point, representing the first image with a first plurality of pixels, capturing a second input image with the digital camera positioned at a second location at a second time point, representing the second image with a second plurality of pixels, generating a first feature distance map of the first input image, generating a second feature distance map of the second input image, calculating the positional change of the digital camera between the first time point and the second time point and utilizing the first feature distance map, the second feature distance map and the positional change of the digital camera to generate a three-dimensional surface approximation the body structure.
