ABSTRACT:
A videoscope system comprises a pair of imaging cameras for capturing a stereoscopic view of a workspace, and a tracking camera for capturing a field of view including a marker structure, and a display for displaying the stereoscopic view of the workspace captured by the pair of imaging cameras and augmented with a computer graphic according to a position and orientation of the imaging cameras relative to the workspace. The videoscope system further comprises a processor for determining the position and orientation of the imaging cameras relative to the workspace based on the location of the marker structure in the field of view captured by the tracking camera, and an articulated support apparatus adapted to support a videoscope head comprising at least the imaging cameras.
