Abstract
There is provided a medical stereoscopic observation device, including: an acquisition section that acquires a first signal associated with a first imaging section and a second signal associated with a second imaging section via mutually different transmission channels; and a switching section that switches a signal to use for a certain control between the first signal and the second signal, in accordance with a state of the transmission channel for transmitting the first signal.
Claims16
A medical stereoscopic observation device, comprising:
- an acquisition section that acquires a first signal associated with a first imaging section and a second signal associated with a second imaging section via mutually different transmission channels;
- and
- a switching section that switches a signal to use for a certain control between the first signal and the second signal, in accordance with a state of the transmission channel for transmitting the first signal.
A medical stereoscopic observation method, comprising:
- acquiring a first signal associated with a first imaging section and a second signal associated with a second imaging section via mutually different transmission channels;
- and
- switching, by a processor, a signal to use for a certain control between the first signal and the second signal, in accordance with a state of the transmission channel for transmitting the first signal.
A program causing a computer to execute:
- acquiring a first signal associated with a first imaging section and a second signal associated with a second imaging section via mutually different transmission channels;
- and
- switching a signal to use for a certain control between the first signal and the second signal, in accordance with a state of the transmission channel for transmitting the first signal.
A medical stereoscopic observation system, comprising:
- an imaging unit that includes a first imaging section and a second imaging section;
- an image processing device that performs image processing on images captured by the first imaging section and the second imaging section;
- a transmission cable that connects the imaging unit to the image processing device;
- an acquisition section that acquires a first signal associated with the first imaging section via a first transmission channel provided along the transmission cable, and acquires a second signal associated with the second imaging section via a second transmission channel different from the first transmission channel;
- and
- a switching section that switches a signal to use for a certain control between the first signal and the second signal, in accordance with a state of the first transmission channel.
