For
Surgical-instrument researchers and training labs
Worth noticing
Three manually annotated snapshots estimate projected tip extension below a visible reference edge—not actual wound depth.

Field notes

The proposed measurement record would carry calibration methods, uncertainty, and limits alongside results, so observations can be distinguished from estimates. The current camera experiments use a marked tool, cardboard surface, and physical ruler; the page says the clips were cropped and rotated, with audio removed. It describes the annotated comparison as an early approach requiring calibration and independent validation.
