Abstract
An endoscope system comprises an image acquisition unit, a discrimination processing unit, and a discrimination processing control unit. The image acquisition unit acquires an endoscope image obtained by imaging an observation target using an endoscope. The discrimination processing unit discriminates a portion having a specific feature in the observation target by performing discrimination processing, using an endoscope image. The discrimination processing control unit controls a start or an end of the discrimination processing on the basis of a change in operation of an endoscope or the endoscope image.
Claims30
An endoscope system comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- acquire an endoscope image obtained by imaging an observation target using an illumination light using an endoscope;
- discriminate a portion having a specific feature in the observation target by performing discrimination processing using the endoscope image;
- and
- control a start or an end of the discrimination processing on the basis of a change in operation of the endoscope or the endoscope image,
- wherein the processor is further configured to start the discrimination processing in a case where the illumination light is switched to specific illumination light, and end the discrimination processing in a case where the specific illumination light is switched to an illumination light other than the specific illumination light.
A processor device comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- acquire an endoscope image obtained by imaging an observation target using an illumination light using an endoscope;
- discriminate a portion having a specific feature in the observation target by performing discrimination processing using the endoscope image;
- and
- control a start or an end of the discrimination processing on the basis of a change in operation of the endoscope or the endoscope image,
- wherein the processor is further configured to start the discrimination processing in a case where the illumination light is switched to specific illumination light, and end the discrimination processing in a case where the specific illumination light is switched to an illumination light other than the specific illumination light.
A method of operating an endoscope system comprising:
- a step of acquiring an endoscope image, which is obtained by imaging an observation target using an illumination light using an endoscope, using a processor;
- a step of discriminating a portion having a specific feature in the observation target by performing discrimination processing using the endoscope image, using the processor;
- and
- a step of controlling a start or an end of the discrimination processing on the basis of a change in operation of the endoscope or the endoscope image, using the processor,
- wherein the processor is configured to start the discrimination processing in a case where the illumination light is switched to specific illumination light, and end the discrimination processing in a case where the specific illumination light is switched to an illumination light other than the specific illumination light.
