1. A system for modeling a raw tracking curve of an in-vivo device passing through a colon, the system comprising:
- a data recorder unit to receive and store a plurality of in vivo signals sent from the in-vivo device passing through the colon;
a processor to construct the raw tracking curve based on the strength of the received signals, said raw tracking curve representing estimated location of the in-vivo device;
a colon section detector unit configured to identify milestone data on the raw tracking curve corresponding to defined locations in the colon and to translate the raw tracking curve to a modeled curve; and
a monitor configured to display a graphical presentation of the modeled tracking curve.

Abstract
A system and method to model a tracking curve of an in-vivo device capturing in-vivo data of the colon is provided. Data analysis is performed on a raw tracking curve to identify one or more milestone data points that correspond to defined locations in the colon. A modeled path may be defined between and along the selected milestone data points. Raw tracking curve data may be translated to modeled data along the modeled path. The modeled tracking curve may be displayed alongside a streaming display of captured in-vivo image frames of the colon.
