Abstract
A system including an instrument having an elongate body, and a control system communicatively coupled to the instrument. The control system is configured to access a branched skeleton model defining a skeleton including a plurality of segments representing respective segments of a luminal network, identify a segment of the plurality of segments of the branched skeleton model corresponding to a position of a distal end of the instrument, determine a depth along the segment corresponding to the position of the distal end of the instrument, and determine a position of the distal end of the instrument relative to an anatomical map of the luminal network based on the identified segment and the depth along the segment.
