Abstract
A medical observation system including a medical imaging device that captures a plurality of images of a living body while changing a focus position, and circuitry that generates a composite image by compositing the plurality of images captured by the medical imaging device, and switches output between the generated composite image and one of the plurality of images based on a result of analysis performed on at least one of the plurality of images.
Claims23
A medical image processing apparatus comprising:
- circuitry configured to
- generate a composite image by compositing a plurality of images obtained by capturing with a medical imaging device an object of a living body while changing a focus position,
- select, based on a result of analysis performed on at least one of the plurality of images, an image of the plurality of images wherein the object of the living body at a center of the image is in focus, and
- switch output between the generated composite image and the selected image of the plurality of images based on the result of analysis performed on the at least one of the plurality of images.
