Abstract
A system may comprise a processor and a memory having computer readable instructions stored thereon. The computer readable instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the system to receive endoscope calibration data, generate a virtual camera based on the calibration data, generate an endoscopic image, receive first and second marked points in the endoscopic image, and determine if a three-dimensional surface model has been generated. If a surface model has been generated, a perturbation in the virtual camera is generated. A curvilinear segment on the surface model may be generated between the first and second marked points and a mixed reality image, including the curvilinear segment and the endoscopic image, may be generated.
