Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
There is a discrepancy between the detection results of a user and automated detection processing for lesions in endoscope images, which is difficult to recognize easily.
Innovation Solution
An information processing device that acquires and plots the capturing times of lesion images identified by a user and automated detection processing on a time axis for comparison.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If automated detection processing is performed on endoscope images, then detection efficiency is improved, but discrepancy between automated detection and user detection becomes difficult to recognize
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms the detection comparison from a static image-by-image analysis into a temporal dimension by plotting capturing times on a time axis. This allows discrepancies between automated and user detections to be visualized as temporal patterns, enabling easy recognition of where and when differences occur without losing detection information.
2Speed
If only automated extraction of lesion images is performed, then processing speed is improved, but comparison with user detection results is not possible
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a time axis as an intermediary representation that mediates between automated detection results and user detection results. By mapping both sets of detections to temporal positions on the time axis, the system enables comparison while maintaining processing efficiency, as the time axis serves as a common framework for evaluating both detection approaches.

AI summary
An information processing device includes: a first acquisition unit configured to acquire a capturing time of a lesion image instructed to be saved by a user, from a series of images captured by an endoscope during examination with the endoscope; a second acquisition unit configured to acquire a capturing time of a lesion image detected by detection processing for the series of images captured by the endoscope during the examination; and a display control unit configured to cause a display device to display a first capturing time and a second capturing time which are plotted on a time axis, the first capturing time being the capturing time acquired by the first acquisition unit, the second capturing time being the capturing time acquired by the second acquisition unit.
