Abstract
An endoscope system includes circuitry configured to set a plurality of evaluation areas in an endoscope image captured by an image sensor via a scope, adjacent ones of the plurality of evaluation areas being spatially separated from one another, calculate an evaluation value for each of the plurality of evaluation areas, compare an evaluation value of the plurality of evaluation areas, and adjust an image processing on the endoscope image in accordance with a result of the comparison.
Claims19
An endoscope system comprising:
- circuitry configured to:
- set a plurality of discrete evaluation areas in an endoscope image captured by an image sensor via a scope, adjacent ones of the plurality of discrete evaluation areas being spatially separated from one another;
- calculate an evaluation value for each of the plurality of discrete evaluation areas;
- estimate whether the scope is attached based on at least one evaluation value of the plurality of discrete evaluation areas;
- and
- estimate the type of scope based on comparison of at least two evaluation values of the plurality of discrete evaluation areas;
- and
- adjust an image processing on the endoscope image in accordance with the type of scope estimated.
A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon a program that, when executed by a computer, causes the computer to execute processing, the processing comprising:
- setting a plurality of discrete evaluation areas in an endoscope image captured by an image sensor via a scope, adjacent ones of the plurality of discrete evaluation areas being spatially separated from one another;
- calculating an evaluation value for each of the plurality of discrete evaluation areas;
- estimating whether the scope is attached based on at least one evaluation value of the plurality of discrete evaluation areas;
- estimating the type of scope based on comparison of at least two evaluation values of the plurality of discrete evaluation areas;
- and
- adjusting an image processing on the endoscope image in accordance with the type of scope estimated.
A method, comprising:
- setting a plurality of discrete evaluation areas in an endoscope image captured by an image sensor via a scope, adjacent ones of the plurality of discrete evaluation areas being spatially separated from one another, wherein the plurality of discrete evaluation areas includes a center area of the endoscope image and the substantially symmetrically areas about the center area;
- calculating an evaluation value for each of the plurality of discrete evaluation areas,
- estimating whether the scope is attached based on at least one evaluation value of the plurality of discrete evaluation areas;
- estimating the type of scope based on comparison of at least two evaluation values of the plurality of discrete evaluation areas;
- and
- adjusting an image processing on the endoscope image in accordance with the type of scope estimated.
