Researchers have developed a method to reconstruct millimeter-range 3D surfaces of neurosurgical operative exposures using standard monocular operating-microscope images and microscope pose data. The technique leverages the Depth Anything 3 foundation model for depth estimation and Poisson surface reconstruction to create meshes. In laboratory tests with phantom models, the system achieved accuracies between 1.02 $\pm$ 0.93 mm and 2.33 $\pm$ 2.15 mm, demonstrating technical feasibility for objective quantification of surgical workspaces.
