Title:
ENDOSCOPE APPARATUS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2017/006449
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
In this endoscope apparatus, multiple images I(t1)-I(tn) (n is an integer) of an observed object are obtained continuously at times t1-tn with time intervals therebetween, coordinates of an observation position are identified in each of the images, and multiple corresponding pixel positions between the image I(tn) and image I(tn-1) are detected as correspondence points. When the coordinates of the observation position in the image I(tn) cannot be identified, the coordinates of the observation position identified in the image I(tn-1) are converted to the coordinates in the coordinate system of the image I(tn), and the direction of the converted coordinates of the observation position relative to the image center is calculated and displayed together with the image I(tn).
