IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE, METHOD, AND PROGRAM

摘要

Provided is an image processing device, method, and program by which it is possible to accurately detect abnormalities by clearly differentiating the abnormalities, protruding from a mucus membrane surface, from bubbles. An image processing device (1) is provided with: a contour extraction unit (110) for extracting a plurality of contour pixels from an image obtained by imaging the interior of a lumen of an organism; a characteristic-amount-calculating unit (130) for calculating a characteristic amount on the basis of the respective pixel values of the plurality of contour pixels and the positional relations between the plurality of contour pixels; and an abnormality detecting unit (140) for detecting abnormalities on the basis of the characteristic amount.
