DISEASE DIAGNOSTIC APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD IN THE SAME APPARATUS, AND MEDIUM STORING PROGRAM ASSOCIATED WITH THE SAME METHOD

摘要

The present disclosure provides an image processing method in a diagnostic apparatus of diagnosing a disease using a captured image of an affected area, comprising: separating the stored captured image into a brightness component and a color information component; separating the brightness component into a base component and a detail component; highlighting the base component and/or the detail component; restoring a brightness component from a highlighted base component and the detail component, and/or from the base component and a highlighted detail component; and generating a highlighted image using the restored brightness component and the color information component.
