Abstract
An image processing device includes at least one processor having hardware. The processor is configured to implement analyzing, in an intraductal image which is an image of inside of a duct, an intraductal imaging situation based on a position of a subject relative to a part that captures an image of the subject. Next, the processor is calculating a plurality of specific region discrimination indices for the intraductal image. Finally, the processor is detecting a specific region by integral determination on the plurality of specific region discrimination indices depending on the intraductal imaging situation.
Claims22
An image processing device comprising:
- at least one processor comprising hardware, wherein the hardware is configured to implement:
- analyzing, in an intraductal image which is an image of inside of a duct, an intraductal imaging situation based on a position of a subject relative to a part that captures an image of the subject;
- calculating a plurality of specific region discrimination indices for the intraductal image;
- detecting a specific region by integral determination on the plurality of specific region discrimination indices depending on the intraductal imaging situation;
- calculating the plurality of specific region discrimination indices based on a plurality of different discriminators;
- and
- performing the integral determination by changing, depending on the intraductal imaging situation, a weight of a specific region discrimination index from among the plurality of specific region discrimination indices.
An image processing method comprising:
- at least one processor comprising hardware, executing:
- analyzing, in an intraductal image which is an image of inside of a duct, an intraductal imaging situation based on a relationship between a subject and a part that captures an image of the subject;
- and
- calculating a plurality of specific region discrimination indices for the intraductal image;
- and
- detecting a specific region by integral determination on the plurality of specific region discrimination indices depending on the intraductal imaging situation.
A non-transitory image processing program product having computer program code encoded thereon that when executed by a processor of a computer causes the computer to perform the operations of:
- analyzing, in an intraductal image which is an image of inside of a duct, an intraductal imaging situation based on a position of a subject relative to a part that captures an image of the subject;
- calculating a plurality of specific region discrimination indices for the intraductal image;
- detecting a specific region by integral determination on the plurality of specific region discrimination indices depending on the intraductal imaging situation;
- calculating the plurality of specific region discrimination indices based on a plurality of different discriminators;
- and
- performing the integral determination by changing, depending on the intraductal imaging situation, a weight of a specific region discrimination index from among the plurality of specific region discrimination indices.
