1. A method, comprising:

  • accessing at least two digital images Ii of a bodily structure and a reference object, where each of the digital images shows the bodily structure and at least a portion of the reference object;

    the view direction for each image Ii is defined by a unit vector vi; and

    there are at least two images Ii1 and Ii2 taken at different instants, such that there is an angle α

    between the normal vectors vi1 and vi2 of the respective images, where −
