Systems and methods for determining three dimensional measurements in telemedicine application

A system that performs a telemedicine operation according to the steps of:

• processing image data collected at a common field of view (FOV) at a first location, the image data including a combination of two-dimensional (2D ) and three-dimensional (3D ) images of a region of interest at the common FOV at the first location;
• producing a 3D point cloud from the 3D images, including providing reference values for adjusting coordinates of two points selected of a 2D image or video frame of the 2D images that is displayed at a second location remote from the first location;
• and
• processing the adjusted coordinates of the selected two points to determine a difference between the two points;
• and
• calculating a depth of the region of interest from the difference between the two points.

A system for performing a telemedicine operation, comprising:

• a rendering system that processes image data collected at a common field of view (FOV) at a first location by a monocular camera and a 3D camera, the image data including a combination of two-dimensional (2D ) and three-dimensional (3D ) images of a region of interest at the common FOV at the first location;
• a first computer that produces a 3D point cloud from the 3D images, the 3D point cloud providing reference values for adjusting coordinates of two points selected of a 2D image of the 2D images that is displayed at a second location remote from the first location;
• and
• at least one fiducial marker in the common FOV used as reference points in the 2D render point map image;
• a second computer that maps the 3D point cloud of a fiducial marker of the at least one fiducial marker to the common FOV to register a 2D video of the fiducial marker with a render point map image generated by the first computer processes the adjusted coordinates of the selected two points to determine a difference between the two points;
• and
• an overlay system that generates and stores a 2D render point map image from a unified view of the common FOV.
