Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to the endoscope apparatus by filter, the broadband light such as white illumination light being carried out special light observation as specific narrow band light.
Background technology
In recent years, apply a kind of mucosal tissue to organism always and irradiate specific narrow band of light (narrow band light), and obtain the organizational information of the desired depth of bio-tissue, the so-called endoscope apparatus that can carry out special light observation.This endoscope apparatus can simply by visual for the Biont information emphasized etc., cannot obtain in common observation image in the microstructure of the new vessels such as produced in mucous layer or tela submucosa, pathological changes portion.Such as, when the object of observation is carninomatosis change portion, can the capillary vessel on tissues observed top layer or the state of microstructure in more detail during owing to irradiating the narrow band light of blue (B) to mucosal tissue, therefore, it is possible to diagnose pathological changes portion more accurately.
On the other hand, knownly to depend on the wavelength of light relative to the degree of reaching deeply of the depth direction of bio-tissue due to light, when blueness (B) light that wavelength is short, based on absorption characteristic and the scattering properties of bio-tissue, light only arrives near top layer, absorption, scattering is subject to, therefore, it is possible to observe as the back light of the information mainly comprising textura epidermoidea in depth bounds herein; When green (G) light long for wavelength ratio B light, G light arrives the place darker than the scope of B light arrival, absorption, scattering is subject to, therefore, it is possible to observe as the back light of the information mainly comprising the middle layer and textura epidermoidea within the scope of this; When redness (R) light that wavelength ratio G light is long, light arrives darker tissue, is subject to absorption, scattering, therefore, it is possible to observe as the back light of the information mainly comprising deep tissues and the middle layer within the scope of this.
Namely, knownly to be accepted irradiating each back light that B light, G light and R light obtains by image sensors such as CCD and the picture signal that obtains, mainly comprising the information of textura epidermoidea, the middle layer and the information of textura epidermoidea and the information of deep tissues and the middle layer respectively.
For this reason, in the process that special light is observed, for ease of observing capillary vessel or the microstructure of the tissue surface in bio-tissue, as the narrow band light of irradiating to bio-tissue, do not use the narrow band light being mainly suitable for observing the middle level of bio-tissue and the redness (R) of deep tissues, and only use the narrow band light being suitable for the blueness (B) of observing textura epidermoidea and these the two kinds of narrow band light of narrow band light being suitable for the green (G) of observing the middle layer and textura epidermoidea, the B picture signal (B narrow band data) mainly comprising textura epidermoidea's information obtained by image sensor by irradiation B narrow band light and the G picture signal (G narrow band data) mainly comprising the middle layer and textura epidermoidea's information obtained by image sensor by irradiating G narrow band light is only used to carry out image procossing, monitor etc. shows pseudo color image and observes.
Therefore, in image procossing, the R view data of coloured image is distributed to after the G picture signal obtained by image sensor (G narrow band data) is multiplied by predetermined coefficients, G view data and the B view data of coloured image is distributed to after B picture signal (B narrow band data) is multiplied by predetermined coefficients respectively, generate the pseudo color image be made up of the color image data of 3ch (passage), and be shown in monitor etc.
Therefore, back light based on narrow band light is received by image sensor the image procossing that 2 the GB image signal transformations obtained become to be used for carry out at display part under the narrow band light pattern of the RGB color image data of pseudo-color processing, is different from and the back light based on common light is received by image sensor the image procossing that 3 the RGB image signal transformations obtained become to be used for carry out at display part under the common optical mode of the colored RGB color image data shown.
In addition, even if in the special light observation process using R narrow band light, G narrow band light and B narrow band light, when for the purpose of the capillary vessel observing textura epidermoidea or microstructure, R picture signal (R narrow band data) is not used yet, and use G picture signal and B picture signal to carry out image procossing as above-mentioned, monitor etc. shows pseudo color image and observes.
In this case, in image procossing, similarly also G picture signal is distributed to R view data, B picture signal is distributed to G view data and B view data, and generate the pseudo color image be made up of 3ch color image data, and be shown in monitor etc.
Its result is known, no matter when, the pseudo color image of the display such as monitor all comprises the main B picture signal (B narrow band data) containing textura epidermoidea's information mostly, therefore the capillary vessel of textura epidermoidea or the state of microstructure are showed in further detail, and the capillary vessel of textura epidermoidea or microstructure are easier to observe (with reference to patent documentation 1 and 2).
In above special light observation process, distance between pathological tissues and the irradiation position of special light is near, can draw out bright and be easy to capillary vessel or the microstructure of the tissue surface watched, but but also existing and to become along with the increase of distance that darkness deepens, be difficult to the problem of watching.
In addition, as aforementioned, because of the distance change between pathological tissues and the irradiation position of special light, subject organizes amplification to change, and when therefore there is the Pixel Dimensions change when the blood vessel projected to imaging apparatus, is difficult to the problem recognizing top layer capillary vessel.
And then, when away from camera positions, it not the top layer capillary vessel of one one, but the block one by one in the intensive region of the top layer capillary vessel being called as (brownish) region in brown becomes the object of observation, the image procossing that will be suitable for photographed images is different, but the switching of these image procossing is generally all manually carried out, thus also existing differs carries out the problem that suitable image emphasizes surely.
