    Abstract: A bend information computation apparatus is to compute bend information representing a direction and a magnitude of bend of a target group including targets disposed at an identical position along a light guide. Each target modulates the intensity of guided light in accordance with the direction and magnitude of bend. The apparatus includes an input unit to be input detected light quantity information corresponding to each target, a storage to store a bend coefficient and intensity modulation information of each target, and a light quantity information relationship between the bend coefficient and intensity modulation information and the detected light quantity information, a first arithmetic operator to calculate light quantity variation information of each target, based on the detected light quantity information and light quantity information relationship, and a second arithmetic operator to calculate the bend information of the target group, based on the light quantity variation information and bend coefficient.

    Abstract: A relative position information acquiring section acquires relative position information, in relation to an insertion subject, of a portion of an inserting section which becomes a position detection object. An image acquisition position calculating section calculates an image acquisition position that is at least one of an image acquisition region, a part of the image acquisition region and a point in the image acquisition region, by use of the relative position and shape information of the insertion subject. A display calculating section sets a display format on the basis of weighting information of the image acquisition position calculated on the basis of a weighting index parameter. An output section outputs the display format and the image acquisition position.
