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

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240161283 titled 'IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The image processing device includes an acquisition means, an inference means, and an integration means. The acquisition means acquires an endoscopic image of an examination target. The inference means generates multiple inference results regarding an attention region of the examination target in the endoscopic image. The integration means integrates the multiple inference results.

  • Acquisition means: Obtains endoscopic images of examination targets.
  • Inference means: Analyzes endoscopic images to generate multiple inference results for specific regions of interest.
  • Integration means: Combines the various inference results for a comprehensive analysis.

Potential Applications

This technology can be used in medical settings for more accurate and efficient diagnosis during endoscopic procedures.

Problems Solved

1. Improved analysis of endoscopic images. 2. Enhanced detection of abnormalities in examination targets.

Benefits

1. Increased accuracy in diagnosis. 2. Time-saving in analyzing endoscopic images. 3. Better patient outcomes.

Potential Commercial Applications

"Enhancing Endoscopic Diagnosis with Image Processing Technology"

Possible Prior Art

There may be existing patents or technologies related to image processing in medical diagnostics, but specific prior art is not provided in this context.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology compare to traditional methods of analyzing endoscopic images?

This technology offers a more automated and efficient approach to analyzing endoscopic images compared to manual methods. It can provide quicker results and potentially more accurate diagnoses.
