1. At least one non-transitory machine-accessible storage medium that provides instructions that, when executed by a machine, will cause the machine to perform operations comprising:
generating an endoscopy user-interface for display on a screen during an endoscopy procedure;
outputting a live video feed of a lumen of a tubular anatomical structure received from an endoscope during the endoscopy procedure for display within a video region of the endoscopy user-interface; and
generating an observation location map for display within the endoscopy user-interface, wherein the observation location map depicts a point of observation from which the live video feed is acquired within the lumen relative to a cross-sectional depiction of the lumen as the endoscope moves longitudinally along the tubular anatomical structure within the lumen during the endoscopy procedure, wherein the cross-sectional depiction comprises a cross-sectional perimeter shape depiction of the lumen and the observation location map conveys a position of the point of observation relative to the cross-sectional perimeter shape depiction.
