ENDOSCOPIC IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE, ENDOSCOPIC IMAGE DISPLAY SYSTEM AND ENDOSCOPIC IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD

摘要

Disclosed is an endoscopic image processing device (2) provided with an image separation unit (4) which separates an endoscopic image acquired by an endoscope capable of wide-angle photographing into a central image and a hollow peripheral image therearound, a peripheral image division unit (5) which divides the peripheral image separated from the central image by the image separation unit (4) in the circumferential direction and generates a plurality of fan-shaped peripheral image pieces, and an image correction unit (6) which performs distortion correction such that the length dimension in the circumferential direction of each of the peripheral image pieces generated by the peripheral image division unit (5) becomes a length dimension approximately equal to the maximum width dimension of the central image.
