More Information
Summary:A method is disclosed that comprises moving an instrument positioned at least partly within an anatomic passageway and receiving a first set of spatial information from the instrument. The first set of spatial information includes a plurality of spatial data records including position information for a distal end of the instrument at a plurality of time periods. The method further comprises receiving shape data including a shape of a portion of the instrument from a shape sensor disposed within the instrument. After receiving the shape data, the first set of spatial information is filtered by removing at least one of the plurality of spatial data records based upon the received shape data.
