Abstract
In a case where the detection target is detected, an actual position display control process of displaying a detected position display circle on a display in an actual position display mode (single line) is performed. In a case where the detection target is not detected, an estimated position display control process of displaying an estimated position display circle on the display in an estimated position display mode (double line) different from the actual position display mode is performed.
Claims14
An endoscope system comprising:
- one or more processors configured to:
- acquire an endoscope image;
- detect a detection target and acquire actual position information of the detection target by performing a detection target detection process on the endoscope image;
- calculate estimated position information of the detection target by a position information estimation process based on the endoscope image in a case where the detection target is not detected;
- and
- perform any of following:
- an actual position display control process of displaying the actual position information of the detection target on a display in an actual position display mode, in a case where the detection target is detected, or
- an estimated position display control process of displaying the estimated position information of the detection target in a portion where the detection target is estimated to be located on the display in an estimated position display mode different from the actual position display mode, in a case where the detection target is not detected.
An endoscope system comprising:
- one or more processors configured to:
- acquire an endoscope image;
- acquire detection target actual position information of a detection target by performing a first detection process on the endoscope image;
- acquire position information of a landmark by performing a second detection process on the endoscope image;
- perform a landmark setting process of setting a relative relationship by associating any of the detection target actual position information or detection target estimated position information obtained from a position information estimation process based on the position information of the landmark, with the position information of the landmark, each time the endoscope image is updated and the detection target actual position information or the detection target estimated position information is acquired;
- and
- display the detection target actual position information or the detection target estimated position information on a display.
A method of operating an endoscope system, the method comprising:
- following steps, executed by one or more processors, of:
- acquiring an endoscope image;
- detecting a detection target and acquiring actual position information of the detection target by performing a detection target detection process on the endoscope image;
- calculating estimated position information of the detection target by a position information estimation process based on the endoscope image in a case where the detection target is not detected;
- and
- performing any of following:
- an actual position display control process of displaying the actual position information of the detection target on a display in an actual position display mode in a case where the detection target is detected, or
- an estimated position display control process of displaying the estimated position information of the detection target in a portion where the detection target is estimated to be located on the display in an estimated position display mode different from the actual position display mode in a case where the detection target is not detected.
