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

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18544886 titled 'IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

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.

  • The device includes an acquisition means for obtaining endoscopic images and a lesion detection means for detecting lesions in the examination target.
  • The lesion detection means utilizes different models to infer the presence of lesions based on a predetermined or variable number of endoscopic images.
  • The device can adjust detection parameters based on the selected model to improve lesion detection accuracy.
