    摘要: An image processing apparatus includes a special light image acquisition unit that acquires a special light image having information in a specific wavelength band, a generation unit that generates depth information at a predetermined position in a living body using the special light image, and a detection unit that detects a predetermined region using the depth information. The image processing apparatus further includes a normal light image acquisition unit that acquires a normal light image having information in a wavelength band of white light. The specific wavelength band is, for example, infrared light. The generation unit calculates a difference in a depth direction between the special light image and the normal light image to generate depth information at the predetermined position. The detection unit detects a position in which the depth information is a predetermined threshold or more as a bleeding point. The present technology is applicable to an endoscope.

    摘要: [Problem] To predict a remaining time during which a fluorescence image is observable.
    [Solution] An information processing device according to the present disclosure includes a remaining time estimation unit that estimates, on the basis of a luminance limit value for observation of a fluorescence image and a change in luminance of a fluorescence image, a remaining time until the luminance of the fluorescence image reaches the luminance limit value. This configuration enables the time at which the luminance of a fluorescence image reaches the luminance limit value to be estimated according to a change in luminance of the fluorescence image, and it is possible to predict a remaining time during which a fluorescence image is observable.

    摘要: A coefficient calculator calculates a correlation coefficient representing a correlation between a normal frame, which is imaged in a state in which normal light is applied to a subject, and a special frame, which is imaged in a state in which special light is applied to the subject; and a processing unit that applies image processing to the special frame so that a part in which the correlation coefficient is high and a part in which the correlation coefficient is low are displayed differently in the special frame. Further provided are: a first determination unit that calculates, for each pixel or each area of the normal frame, a first determination value representing a probability that a predetermined site is imaged; and a second determination unit that calculates, for each pixel or each area of the special frame, a second determination value representing a probability that a predetermined site is imaged.

    摘要: [Object] Observation is made possible by switching between a stereoscopic vision image and a depth-of-field extended image correspondingly to a situation.[Solution] An image processing device according to the present disclosure, includes a photographing situation acquiring section that acquires information with regard to a photographing situation of an image for a left eye or an image for a right eye, and a determining section that determines correspondingly to the information with regard to the photographing situation whether to perform stereoscopic vision image processing for the image for a left eye or the image for a right eye, or whether to perform two-dimensional depth-of-field extension processing with at least one of the image for a left eye or the image for a right eye. With this, it becomes possible to observe by switching between a stereoscopic vision image and a depth-of-field extended image correspondingly to a situation.

    摘要: An image acquisition system includes: a light source unit; an imaging unit; a medical tool detection unit; and an image processing unit. The light source unit applies, to an affected part in which a medical tool that emits fluorescence by irradiation of excitation light is present, normal light and the excitation light. The imaging unit images the affected part under irradiation with the excitation light and under irradiation with the normal light, and acquires a first image signal obtained by imaging the fluorescence and a second image signal obtained by imaging the normal light. The medical tool detection unit detects, on the basis of the first image signal, an area in which the medical tool is present in a first image obtained from the first image signal. The image processing unit generates a display image using a result of detecting the area in which the medical tool is present and the second image signal.
