IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND PROGRAM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To accurately detect a mask shape.SOLUTION: An image processing device includes: an edge detection part for detecting a boundary point between a first region that includes a subject which is an observation object and a second region that does not include a subject; a first estimation part for estimating a first shape as a shape of the boundary between the first region and the second region on the basis of the boundary point; and a second estimation part for estimating a second shape as a shape of the boundary between the first region and the second region on the basis of the boundary point and the estimated first shape. The subject which is an observation object is a living body imaged by an endoscope device. This technology can be applied to an image processing device for processing an image taken by an endoscope device.
