<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To appropriately discriminate an unnecessary region to accurately extract the unnecessary region from an intraluminal image. <P>SOLUTION: The image processing apparatus 1 includes a first determining unit 16 and a secondary determining unit 17, and extracts a halation region that is an example of the unnecessary region from the intraluminal image. The primary determining unit 16 determines a halation candidate region on a basis of a first feature quantity based on color information of the intraluminal image. The second determining unit 17 determines whether the halation candidate region is the halation region, based on a boundary feature quantity that is a second feature quantity different from the first feature quantity, of the halation candidate region. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
