Abstract
A device, system and method for capturing in-vivo images allows for size or distance estimations for objects within the images. A scale may be overlayed on or otherwise added to the images and, based on a comparison between the scale and an image of an object, the size of the object and/or the distance of the object from an imaging device may be estimated or calculated.
