Abstract
An endoscopic apparatus is disclosed. The endoscopic apparatus includes a light source which has a plurality of light source components which output light beams which cross one another; an estimator which estimates a geometry of an internal surface of a body; and a controller which controls so that an intensity of a light beam output by any one of the plurality of light source components is variably adjusted based on the estimated geometry of the internal surface of the body.
Claims19
An endoscopic apparatus comprising:
- a light source which includes a plurality of light source components which are configured to output light beams which cross one another;
- an estimator which is configured to estimate a geometry of an internal surface of a body;
- and
- a controller which is configured to control so that an intensity of a light beam output by any one of the plurality of light source components is variably adjusted based on the estimated geometry of the internal surface of the body.
An endoscopic method comprising:
- estimating a geometry of an internal surface of a body;
- and
- variably adjusting an intensity of a light beam which is output by one of a plurality of light source components based on the estimated geometry of the internal surface of the body,
- wherein the plurality of light source components are configured to output a respective plurality of light beams which cross one another.
A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having stored thereon a program which is executable by a computer for performing an endoscopic method comprising:
- estimating a geometry of an internal surface of a body;
- and
- variably adjusting an intensity of a light beam which is output by one of a plurality of light source components based on the estimated geometry of the internal surface of the body,
- wherein the plurality of light source components are configured to output a respective plurality of light beams which cross one another.
