IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240135539 titled 'IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The image processing device includes an acquisition means and a lesion detection means. The acquisition means acquires endoscopic images obtained by photographing an examination target. The lesion detection means detects a lesion based on a selection model chosen from a first model and a second model, with the ability to change parameters for lesion detection based on a non-selection model.

  • Explanation of the patent/innovation:

- The device acquires endoscopic images for examination targets. - Lesion detection is performed using a selection model chosen from two different models. - Parameters for lesion detection can be adjusted based on a non-selection model.

Potential applications of this technology: - Medical imaging for detecting lesions in endoscopic examinations.

Problems solved by this technology: - Efficient and accurate detection of lesions in endoscopic images. - Ability to adjust parameters for lesion detection based on different models.

Benefits of this technology: - Improved accuracy in detecting lesions. - Flexibility in adjusting parameters for lesion detection.

Potential commercial applications of this technology: - Medical device companies for developing advanced endoscopic imaging systems.

Possible prior art: - Prior art in the field of medical imaging for lesion detection using endoscopic images.

Questions: 1. How does the device determine which model to use for lesion detection? 2. What are the specific parameters that can be adjusted for lesion detection based on the non-selection model?


Original Abstract Submitted

the image processing device x includes an acquisition means x and a lesion detection means x. the acquisition means x acquires an endoscopic image obtained by photographing an examination target by a photographing unit provided in an endoscope. the lesion detection means x detects a lesion based on a selection model which is selected from a first model and a second model, the first model being configured to make an inference regarding a lesion of the examination target based on a predetermined number of endoscopic images, the second model being configured to make an inference regarding a lesion of the examination target based on a variable number of endoscopic images. besides, the lesion detection means x changes a parameter to be used for detection of the lesion based on a non-selection model that is the first model or the second model other than the selection model.
