Abstract: [Problem] To predict a remaining time during which a fluorescence image is observable.
[Solution] An information processing device according to the present disclosure includes a remaining time estimation unit that estimates, on the basis of a luminance limit value for observation of a fluorescence image and a change in luminance of a fluorescence image, a remaining time until the luminance of the fluorescence image reaches the luminance limit value. This configuration enables the time at which the luminance of a fluorescence image reaches the luminance limit value to be estimated according to a change in luminance of the fluorescence image, and it is possible to predict a remaining time during which a fluorescence image is observable.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus, an information processing method, and an endoscope system capable of providing an optimal video image to an operator in accordance with surgical scenes are provided. A processing mode determination unit determines, in accordance with surgical scenes, a processing mode for an in-vivo image captured by an imaging apparatus including an imaging element arranged so as to enable pixel shift processing, and an image combining unit processes an image output from the imaging apparatus, in accordance with the processing mode. The present technology is applicable to, for example, an endoscope system for imaging a living body with an endoscope.

Abstract: [Object] To provide an information processing apparatus, an assistance system, and an information processing method that enable suitable assistance to be performed on a surgeon.[Solving Means] An information processing apparatus includes a control unit. The control unit extracts, on the basis of a first image obtained by picking up an image of a surgical part including an affected part and metadata of a situation obtained from past surgery or examination, a parameter of assistance performed with respect to the situation, which is made to correspond to the metadata.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a control device and method, a program, and an endoscope system that are designed to be capable of shortening of the time before focusing.A target point distance calculation unit acquires an illumination intensity from an AE control unit, acquires a target point luminance value from a target point determination unit, and acquires an object reflectance from a reflectance holding unit. The target point distance calculation unit calculates (predicts) the distance to a target point, using the illumination intensity acquired from the AE control unit, the target point luminance value acquired from the target point determination unit, and the object reflectance acquired from the reflectance holding unit. Upon receipt of the target point distance from the target point distance calculation unit, the AF control unit searches for the focus position, using the received target point distance as the initial value. The present disclosure can be applied to an endoscope system to be used for surgeries, examinations, and the like, for example.
