[0046] The image processing device in the present invention can be used in an image display system including an imaging device and an image display device. will refer to figure 1 Describe the image display system. It should be noted that an "image display device" may be simply referred to as a "display device" in the following description and drawings.

[0047] (Configuration of Image Pickup System)

[0048] figure 1 An image display system using the image processing device of the present invention is shown, which is composed of an imaging device (microscope device) 101, an image processing device 102, and an image display device 103, and has an imaging device for obtaining and displaying images whose images are to be captured. The role of the 2D image of the object (test sample). The imaging device 101 and the image processing device 102 are connected to each other by a dedicated or general-purpose I / F cable 104 , and the image processing device 102 and the image display ...

[0124] An image display system according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0125] In the first embodiment, by selecting an image for displaying an overlapping region from pieces of data related to a divided image captured in a case where the imaging range is divided into a plurality of divided images including an overlapping region, according to a user instruction from the outside. Segments of data related to an image are divided to generate image data related to an imaging object to be displayed. In the second embodiment, by selecting pieces of data related to divided images captured when the imaging range is divided into a plurality of divided images including overlapping areas based on predetermined priorities for display of overlapping areas, the Image data related to the imaged object is displayed. Therefore, in the second embodiment, by automatically selecting pieces of divided image-related data to be di...

[0164] In the third embodiment, an image processing apparatus is used which selects and displays image data to be displayed generated by selecting pieces of divided image-related data according to purposes, or by combining divided image-related data Display data related to the composite image obtained from the segment. In particular, a composite image is displayed when the display magnification is low, and the image is displayed using switching of the overlapping area when the display magnification is high. When the display magnification is low, pieces of data related to divided images are combined using interpolation processing or the like, then a reduced image is generated by converting the resolution, and the reduced image is used as image data to be displayed. When the display magnification is high, as described above, image data to be displayed is generated by selecting pieces of data related to divided images. For this reason, screens can be smoothly scrolled at low dis...

Abstract

Provided is an image processing device used in a virtual slide system, etc., that generates an image of an imaging target without compositing a plurality of divided images, and prevents unintentional diagnosis on the basis of a boundary position or area in a divided image. The image processing device generates image data for displaying an imaging target, on the basis of divided image data for the imaging target captured such that the imaging range has mutually overlapping areas, and has: an image data acquisition means that obtains the plurality of divided image data; an image data selection means that automatically selects image data to be displayed from the plurality of divided image data, for the overlapping areas; and a display control means that displays the overlapping areas in an image display device, using the divided image data selected by the image data selection means.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to image processing devices, and in particular to digital image processing for viewing imaged objects. Background technique [0002] In recent years, in the field of pathology, as an alternative to the optical microscope used as a tool for pathological diagnosis, by capturing an image of a test sample (subject) set on a prepared slide and digitizing the image so that it can be displayed on a monitor The virtual slide system for pathological diagnosis is gaining attention. A current image of a test sample obtained through an optical microscope can be regarded as digital data by digitizing images using a virtual slide system for pathological diagnosis. As a result, benefits such as rapid remote diagnosis, interpretation to patients using digital images, sharing of rare cases, and efficient education and training are expected to arise. [0003] In order to achieve substantially the same operation as that of an optical micro...
