MEDICAL IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE, METHOD FOR OPERATING THE SAME, AND ENDOSCOPE SYSTEM

摘要

First RGB image signals are inputted. Color difference signals Cr and Cb are calculated from the first RGB image signals. In a feature space formed by the color difference signals Cr and Cb, a first process is performed such that coordinates corresponding to a second observation area are moved to a reference area containing the origin point while coordinates corresponding to first and third observation areas are maintained unchanged. A second process is performed to move the coordinates corresponding to the first observation area and the coordinates corresponding to the third observation area away from each other.

主权项

1. A medical image processing device comprising:
an input processing unit for performing an input process of a first color image signal; a color information obtaining section for obtaining two or more pieces of color information from the first color image signal; and a first movement processor for moving coordinates within a feature space from a second observation area to a reference area defined in the feature space and for moving coordinates within the feature space from at least one of first and third observation areas while the coordinates moved from the second observation area are maintained in the reference area, the feature space being formed by the two or more pieces of color information, objects of interest being distributed in the first, second, and third observation areas.
