CAPSULE-TYPE MEDICAL DEVICE, CONTROL DEVICE FOR MEDICAL USE, IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE FOR MEDICAL USE, AND PROGRAM

摘要

A capsule-type medical device has an imaging section and a control section. The imaging section takes an image of a subject and outputs the taken image of the subject as image signals. The control section determines similarities between images of an image group based on a predetermined threshold that represents the magnitude of movement between images of the image group, where the similarities are based on image signals of two or more frames, the image signals being those among the image signals outputted from the imaging section. Also, the control section performs control for outputting an image signal based on the result of the determination.
