Problems solved by technology

However, the dispersion of pigments requires labor, time and cost, and the scattered pigments may damage the original color of the subject or reduce the visibility of structures other than unevenness.
Furthermore, if the pigment is dispersed against the living body, there may be a problem of high invasiveness to the patient

no. 2 Embodiment approach

[0143] Figure 6 It is a functional block diagram of the endoscope device of the second embodiment. The endoscope device constituting the second embodiment also includes a light source unit 100 , an imaging unit 200 , a processor unit 300 , a display unit 400 , and an external interface unit 500 .

[0144] First, the light source unit 100 is composed of a white LED and blue laser light source 105 , and a converging lens 104 for converging the combined light of the white LED and the blue laser on the incident end face of the optical fiber 201 . The white LED and the blue laser light source 105 perform pulse lighting control under the control from the control unit 302 . In addition, blue lasers use, for example, wavelengths shorter than blue light emitted by white LEDs.

[0145] The imaging unit 200 is formed elongated and bendable so that it can be inserted into a body cavity such as the stomach or the large intestine. The imaging unit 200 is provided with an optical fiber 2...

Abstract

An image processing apparatus includes an image acquiring unit (390) for acquiring a captured image including a picture of a subject through imaging by an imaging unit (200), a distance information acquiring unit (340) for acquiring distance information based on the distance from the imaging unit (200) to the subject during imaging, a known-characteristic information acquiring unit (350) for acquiring known-characteristic information which is information indicating a known characteristic relating to a structure of the subject, and an unevenness specifying unit (310) for performing unevenness specification processing for specifying an uneven part of the subject that matches a characteristic specified by the known-characteristic information from the imaged subject on the basis of the distance information and the known-characteristic information.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an image processing device, electronic equipment, an endoscope device, a program, an image processing method, and the like. Background technique [0002] In the observation and diagnosis of the inside of a living body using an endoscope device, a method of identifying whether it is an early lesion by observing the minute unevenness on the surface of the living body is widely used. And, not only the endoscope device for living body, but also in the endoscope device for industrial use, it is also useful to observe the concave-convex structure of the object (in a narrow sense, the surface of the object), for example, it can be performed in places where it is difficult to directly Detection of cracks generated in the inside of the tube, etc., by visual inspection. In addition, in image processing devices other than endoscope devices, it is often useful to detect the uneven structure of a subject from an image to be process...
