ABSTRACT:
Methods and systems for determining a surface geometry of an object, including determining a first projection matrix based on a first imaging device, determining a second projection matrix based on a second imaging device, obtaining at least one first two-dimensional (2D) image of the object using the first imaging device, obtaining at least one second 2D image of the object using the second imaging device, determining a contour of the object in the first 2D image and the second 2D image, and, based on the at least two contours, the first projection matrix, and the second projection matrix, reconstructing 3D data associated with the surface of the object. In one embodiment, the object can be a heart.
