Abstract
A special observation image is obtained by performing an image pickup of an object to be observed illuminated with special light. Bs-image signals of the special observation image are assigned to brightness signals Y to generate a first observation image for display. Gs-image signals of the special observation image are assigned to brightness signals Y to generate a second observation image for display. The first observation image for display and the second observation image for display are automatically switched and displayed on a monitor.
Claims17
An endoscope system comprising:
- a processor configured to function as:
- an image acquisition unit that acquires an observation image;
- an observation-image-for-display processing unit that generates an observation image for display including a brightness signal on the basis of the observation image, assigns a first color signal of the observation image to the brightness signal to generate a first observation image for display, and assigns a second color signal of the observation image to the brightness signal to generate a second observation image for display;
- and
- a display control unit that causes a display to automatically switch and display the first observation image for display and the second observation image for display.
A method of operating an endoscope system, the method comprising:
- an image acquisition step of causing a processor to acquire an observation image;
- an image generation step of causing the processor to generate an observation image for display including a brightness signal on the basis of the observation image, to assign a first color signal of the observation image to the brightness signal to generate a first observation image for display, and to assign a second color signal of the observation image to the brightness signal to generate a second observation image for display;
- and
- a display step of causing the processor to cause a display to automatically switch and display the first observation image for display and the second observation image for display.
