Abstract
An image processing method is provided which can determine if an image obtained by capturing an image of a subject is an image inappropriate for observation and diagnosis or not. The image processing method of the present invention comprises calculating one or more feature value of each of a plurality of images including a plurality of color signals obtained by capturing an image of a subject and determining the image-captured state of each of the images by comparing the calculated feature value with a threshold value of the image-captured state determining good or bad of the image set in advance.
Claims24
An image processing method comprising:
- calculating one or more feature value of each of a plurality of images including a plurality of color signals obtained by capturing an image of a subject;
- and
- determining an image-captured state of each of the images on the basis of the calculated feature value.
A capsule type endoscope device comprising:
- an image pickup device for generating a plurality of images including a plurality of color signals by capturing an image of a subject;
- and
- an image processing device for calculating one or more feature value of each of the images and determining an image-captured state of the image on the basis of the calculated feature value for each of the images so as to control processing on the basis of the determination result.
A capsule type endoscope device comprising:
- image generating section which generates a plurality of images including a plurality of color signals by capturing an image of a subject;
- feature value calculating section which calculates one or more feature value of each of the images;
- image-captured state determining section which determines an image-captured state of each of the images on the basis of the calculated feature value;
- and
- control section which controls processing on the basis of a determination result in the image-captured state determining section.
