Abstract
Description
図1は、本発明の一実施形態に係る電子内視鏡システム1の構成を示すブロック図である。図1に示されるように、電子内視鏡システム1は、電子スコープ100、プロセッサ200及びモニタ300を備えている。
通常モード時のプロセッサ200での信号処理動作を説明する。
次に、特殊モード時のプロセッサ200での信号処理動作を説明する。
図2は、特殊画像処理回路230による特殊画像生成処理のフローチャートを示す。図2の特殊画像生成処理は、電子内視鏡システム1の動作モードが特殊モードに切り替えられた時点で開始される。
本処理ステップS11では、前段信号処理回路220より現フレームの各画素の画素データが入力される。
本処理ステップS12では、全ての画素の中から所定の順序に従い一つの注目画素が選択される。
本処理ステップS13では、処理ステップS12(注目画素の選択)にて選択された注目画素について、R-Gデータが計算される。図3及び図4に、R-Gデータの計算処理の説明を補助する図を示す。
図4に、処理ステップS13(R-Gデータの計算)にて計算されたR-Gデータ(炎症の強さを示すデータ)を示す。図4中、横軸がR-Gデータの軸である。本実施形態では、炎症が進行して血液そのものが見えている状態が最も強い状態の炎症であるという考えに基づき、基準となるR-Gデータが規定されている。以下、説明の便宜上、基準となるR-Gデータを「基準RGデータ」と記す。基準RGデータは、例えば、予め撮影された複数の血液画像サンプルのR-Gデータの平均値である。
本実施形態では、炎症の強さに応じた表示色で撮影画像をモザイク化したカラーマップ画像を表示することができる。カラーマップ画像を表示可能とするため、正規化RGデータの値と所定の表示色とを対応付けたテーブルがメモリ222等の記憶領域に記憶されている。本テーブルでは、例えば、値0.05刻みで異なる表示色が対応付けられている。例示的には、正規化RGデータの値が0.00~0.05の範囲では黄色が対応付けられており、該値が0.05増える毎に色相環での色の並び順に従って異なる表示色が対応付けられており、該値が0.95~1.00の範囲では赤色が対応付けられている。
本処理ステップS16では、現フレームの全ての画素に対して処理ステップS12~S15が実行されたか否かが判定される。
本処理ステップS17は、現フレームの全ての画素に対して処理ステップS12~S15が実行されたと判定された場合(S16:YES)に実行される。本処理ステップS17では、現フレームの全ての画素の正規化RGデータを平均化した平均値が撮影画像全体の炎症評価値として計算され、計算された炎症評価値の表示データが生成される。なお、ステップS17において実行されるカラー画像に対する所定の評価値としての炎症評価値を計算する動作は、評価値計算手段により行われる。
本処理ステップS18では、前段信号処理回路220より入力される画素データ(すなわち、RGBの3つの色成分を持つ画素データ)に基づく通常画像と、処理ステップS15(カラーマップ画像上での表示色の決定)にて所定の表示色に決定された画素データに基づくカラーマップ画像とをオーバレイさせる割合を係数として、前者の画素データ(通常の画素データ)と後者の画素データ(カラーマップ用の画素データ)とが加算される。係数の設定は、ユーザ操作により適宜設定変更することが可能である。通常画像の方を濃く表示したい場合は、通常の画素データの係数が高く設定され、カラーマップ画像の方を濃く表示したい場合は、カラーマップ用の画素データの係数が高く設定される。
本処理ステップS19では、電子内視鏡システム1の動作モードが特殊モードとは別のモードに切り替えられたか否かが判定される。別のモードに切り替えられていないと判定される場合(S19:NO)、図2の特殊画像生成処理は、処理ステップS11(現フレームの画素データの入力)に戻る。一方、別のモードに切り替えられたと判定される場合(S19:YES)、図2の特殊画像生成処理は終了する。
後段信号処理回路240は、図2の処理ステップS18(オーバレイ処理)にて加算処理された画素データに基づいて通常画像とカラーマップ画像とのオーバレイ画像の表示データを生成すると共にモニタ300の表示画面の周辺領域(画像表示領域の周囲)をマスクするマスキング処理を行い、更に、マスキング処理により生成されるマスク領域に炎症評価値を重畳した、モニタ表示用の画面データを生成する。後段信号処理回路240は、生成されたモニタ表示用の画面データを所定のビデオフォーマット信号に変換して、モニタ300に出力する。なお、炎症評価値に基づいて、炎症を有する画素と正常部の画素とが異なる色で識別可能に表された画像を表示する画像表示手段は、例えば、モニタ300である。
