INTERACTIVE MEASUREMENT BASED ON THREE-DIMENSIONAL REPRESENTATIONS OF OBJECTS

A method, a system, and computer program product for rendering a visual representation of a target object using a selection of a first position on the surface of the target object. A reference surface is determined based on selected positions on the surface of the target object. A graphical object overlaying the visual representation of the target object is rendered. A location of the graphical object in the graphical user interface is based on the reference surface. The graphical object has a perimeter including the perimeter positions. A perimeter position of the perimeter positions is mapped to a second point on a three-dimensional representation of the target object. A distance between a first point and a second point on the three-dimensional representation of the target object is less than or equal to a second distance. The first point on the three-dimensional representation is associated with the first position.
