Core Tip	In an attempt to approximate a three-dimensional (3-D) reconstruction of the digestive tract surface, a software that recovers information-using gradual variation of shading - from monocular two-dimensional capsule endoscopy images has been proposed. Light reflections on the surface of the digestive tract are still a significant problem. Therefore, a phantom model and simulator has been constructed in an attempt to check the validity of a highlight suppression algorithm. Our results confirm that 3-D representation software performs better with simultaneous application of a highlight reduction algorithm. Furthermore, 3-D representation follows a good approximation of the real distance to the lumen surface.
