摘要:
A first memory (24) for storing scope machine type information representing the kind of a color filter (21a) is provided in a scope unit (2). A signal processing unit (3) obtains the scope machine type information from the first memory (24) by a second microcomputer (36). The signal processing unit (3) obtains the kind of the color filter based on the obtained scope machine type information. Then, the signal processing unit (3) performs color space correction processing on color image signals so that each of signals for display, which are produced from the color image signals, represents the same point in color space. The color image signals are signals output from scope units (2) which have different kinds of color filter from each other.

In an endoscopic diagnosing system, signals are exchanged using radio waves at between an electronic endoscope, an operator's processor unit and a director's processor unit. The director's processor unit has a transmitting section that modulate into and transmit a radio wave an operation input signal inputted through a zooming button of an operation input device, and a video-signal processing section that switches display over between split screen to display endoscopic images separately between a plurality of electronic endoscopes on the director's monitor and full screen to display one endoscopic image fully on the director's monitor.

摘要:
When an image obtained by an electronic endoscope apparatus is recorded, the image is recorded in a state where whether or not the image has been subjected to image processing can be judged with certainty. Recording image selectionmeans (15a, 13, 19, 26) selects either an original image without the image processing by image processing means (21, 20) or a processed image having been subjected to the image processing, as the image to be recorded by image recording means (27, 28, 29). Image type information generation means (19) generates image type information representing whether the image selected by the recording image selection means is the original image or the processed image, and the image recording means records the selected image in relation to the image type information in response to operation by an operator using operation means (15b., 13, 19).
摘要:
In an electronic endoscope system (2), an individual channel (Ch1, Ch2, Ch3, Ch4) of a frequency band is allocated to each of a plurality of electronic endoscopes (11a, 11b, 11c, 11d). When a release switch (31d) of the electronic endoscope is operated to record an endoscopic image, a picture signal of the endoscopic image is modulated into a radio frequency signal, and a header representative of the allocated channel is attached to the radio frequency signal, before sending it as an electric wave (19) to a storage server (18) through the allocated channel. The storage server is provided with a plurality of data storages (17a, 17b, 17c, 17d) for the individual channels. In the storage server, the received radio frequency signal is demodulated into the original picture signal, and an I/O port (96) sorts the picture signal according to the attached header, to write it as the endoscopic image in the data storage corresponding to the channel represented by the attached header.
摘要:
In an electronic endoscope system (2), an RF signal is produced through quadrature modulation of a picture signal that is representative of an image taken through an electronic endoscope (10). When control signals are entered by an operator through a control section (14) of the electronic endoscope, a data superimposing section (35) superimposes the entered control signals (Da, Db, Dc) on the RF signal in horizontal scanning intervals (Th) within a vertical blanking interval (Tb1). The RF signal having the control signals superimposed thereon is sent as an electric wave of a single frequency band to a processor (11). In the processor, a data analyzer (69) carries out sampling to extract the entered control signals if they are superimposed on the picture signal, and analyzes the contents of the entered control signals. Based on the results of analysis, a CPU (60) controls respective components of the signal processor.
摘要:
An endoscope apparatus comprises: an endoscope comprising an imaging device that forms color image signals of a body to be observed; a Y/C signal processing circuit that forms brightness/color difference signals from a color image signal obtained by the imaging device; a storage portion that stores Y/C matrix data for forming a spectral image based on the brightness/color difference signals; and a Y/C spectral image forming circuit that conducts matrix calculation by the Y/C matrix data of the storage portion and the brightness/color difference signals output from the Y/C signal processing circuit and forms a spectral image of an arbitrarily selected wavelength range.
摘要:
An image obtained by an electronic endoscope apparatus is changed to an image that is appropriate for observation with suppressed halation and fewer dark areas. Halation detection means (19) detects halation of a predetermined level or higher in an image represented by a signal obtained by an imaging device (11), based on the signal. Light amount adjustment means (19, 27, 28, 29, 30) decreases an amount of light emitted from illumination means (25, 15) to cause the halation to become a predetermined level or lower. Luminance conversion means (23, 24) processes the signal so as to generate a luminance conversion image wherein only a dark area having a predetermined luminance or lower in the image due to the decrease in the amount of the light is changed to have a higher luminance.
摘要:
An electronic endoscope apparatus includes a connection unit for selectively connecting a plurality of machine types of electronic endoscopes which use different color information obtainment methods and a plurality of replacement tables which are provided for the plurality of machine types of electronic endoscopes respectively, and each of which stores a correspondence between values representing colors which can be obtained by each of the electronic endoscopes by photographing an observation object and values representing the true colors of the observation object. The electronic endoscope apparatus distinguishes the machine type of the electronic endoscope and replaces the values of obtained colors by using the replacement table for the distinguished machine type. Further, the electronic endoscope apparatus stores setting information for each purpose of examination, and further performs image processing, based on selected setting information, on the image of which the values of the colors have been replaced.
