1. A system for endoscopic mapping of a target, the system comprising:
an imaging system configured to generate endoscopic images of the target; and
a video processor configured to:
from each of the endoscopic images, identify one or more landmarks, and determine respective locations of the identified one or more landmarks relative to an optical reference produced by an optical source and shown on a corresponding endoscopic image of the endoscopic images of the target; and
generate a target map by integrating the endoscopic images based on the identified one or more landmarks from each of the endoscopic images, wherein the endoscopic images include images of various sites of the target.
