Abstract
A medical control apparatus includes a circuitry configured to: generate an irradiation image represented by illuminating-light irradiation, based on a brightness distribution of a captured image captured by an imaging device; and control generation of a projection image and projection of the projection image onto a subject by an image projector provided in an optical member based on the irradiation image and a rotation angle for rotation of the optical member rotatably coupled to the imaging device about a longitudinal axis of the optical member relative to the imaging device.
Claims11
A medical control apparatus comprising
- circuitry configured to:
- generate an irradiation image represented by illuminating-light irradiation, based on a brightness distribution of a captured image captured by an imaging device;
- and
- control generation of a projection image and projection of the projection image onto a subject by an image projector provided in an optical member based on the irradiation image and a rotation angle for rotation of the optical member rotatably coupled to the imaging device about a longitudinal axis of the optical member relative to the imaging device.
A medical observation system comprising:
- an optical member having an elongated shape, the optical member being configured to condense a subject image and emit supplied light from a distal end;
- an imaging device coupled to the optical member such that the optical member is removable and rotatable about a longitudinal axis of the optical member, the imaging device being configured to capture the subject image condensed by the optical member;
- circuitry configured to
- generate a captured image based on an electric signal generated through capture by the imaging device,
- detect a rotation angle of the optical member for rotation about the longitudinal axis relative to the imaging device,
- generate an irradiation image that indicates a distribution of a light quantity of illumination light based on a distribution of the light quantity in accordance with a brightness distribution of the captured image,
- correct the irradiation image in accordance with the rotation angle;
- a light source configured to supply light to the optical member;
- and
- an image projector provided in the optical member, the image projector being configured to generate a projection image based on the irradiation image having been corrected by the circuitry and project the projection image onto a subject.
