Abstract
Endoscopic devices distort the image of a region under examination. Previous work has shown that there are computational methods which can precisely reconstruct planar structures in a model of the esophagus and that reconstruction in human subjects is operator independent. The purpose of this report is to show that much of the process can be automated and to provide additional evidence that the reconstruction is both accurate and reproducible.
