Abstract:
In a measurement support device according to an aspect, in a case where an indicator figure (marker) is displayed in the vicinity of a spot position, since the indicator figure is displayed in different aspects between a case where measurement of a specific region by the displayed indicator figure is effective and a case where measurement of a specific region by the displayed indicator figure is not effective, it is possible to easily grasp effectiveness of measurement by the display aspect of the indicator figure, and thus effective measurement can be easily performed. In addition, in the above-described aspect, since the indicator figure having a size set according to the position of the spot is displayed, distance measurement is not necessary, the configuration is simple, and the processing load is low. Further, since the indicator figure is displayed in the vicinity of the position of the spot, the difference between the spot position and the marker position is small and thus the indicator figure is accurate as an indicator, and since the indicator figure is not displayed in a wide range, the processing load is low.
Abstract:
An object of the invention is to provide an endoscope system capable of easily measuring the size of a subject. In an endoscope system related to one aspect of the invention, since an index figure indicating an actual size of a specific region of a test object is displayed together with an image of the subject, a user can measure the specific region easily by comparing the specific region with a marker. Since the size of the index figure is set in accordance with a spot position, there is no need for distance measurement, a device configuration is simple, and measurement can be quickly and easily performed. In addition, a specific value of the “actual size” can be set in accordance with conditions, such as the type of test object and the purposes of measurement. Additionally, an affected region can be the specific region in a case where the test object is a living body.

An auxiliary measurement light-emitting unit emits auxiliary measurement light that is planar light including at least two first feature lines. A taken image obtained through the imaging of a subject includes an intersection curve and at least two first spots that are formed at positions corresponding to first feature lines on the intersection curve. Measurement information representing the actual size of the subject is displayed in the taken image by using the positions of the first spots.
Abstract:
Provided are a measurement support device, an endoscope system, a processor for an endoscope system, and a measurement support method capable of easily and highly accurately measuring the size of a subject. In the measurement support device related to one aspect of the invention, the position of a spot by measurement auxiliary light is measured, and information indicating the actual size of a subject is acquired on the basis of the measurement result to create and display a marker. This, there is no need for distance measurement and the measurement is easy. Additionally, by appropriately setting the inclination angle of the measurement auxiliary light, even in a case where an observation distance is short, the measurement auxiliary light can be prevented from deviating from the visual field of the imaging optical system, and the range of the observation distance can be extended. Moreover, since an optical axis of the measurement auxiliary light has an inclination angle that is not 0 degrees with respect to an optical axis of the imaging optical system in a case where the optical axis of the measurement auxiliary light is projected on a plane including the optical axis of the imaging optical system, the sensitivity of a change in the position of the spot to a change in the observation distance is high, and measurement accuracy is high.

A pattern quality management chart includes a chart substrate which is made of the same material as a substrate patterned by a first region having a predetermined affinity to a functional liquid for pattern formation and a second region having an affinity lower than the predetermined affinity, and at least one unit region group formed on the surface of the chart substrate. The unit region group includes a plurality of unit regions which are constituted of the first region surrounded therearound by the second region, and each of the unit regions is classified into either a compliant type unit region which has a shape and a size such that, when a predetermined amount of functional liquid is supplied to the unit region under predetermined supply conditions, the functional liquid does not overflow into the surrounding second region and the unit region is completely filled with the functional liquid, or a non-compliant type unit region which has a shape and a size such that part of the functional liquid overflows into the surrounding second region and/or a part of the unit region is not filled with the functional liquid. A plurality of unit regions include at least one compliant type unit region and at least one non-compliant type unit region.
Abstract:
The invention aims at providing a measurement support device, an endoscope system, and a processor for an endoscope system capable of displaying an accurate indicator with a simple configuration. In a measurement support device related to one aspect of the invention, the coordinates of a spot, and coordinates of points indicating an actual size of a measurement target in a subject and indicating a circular marker distorted in accordance with distortion aberration of an imaging optical system are stored in association with each other in a storage unit, the coordinates of the points indicating the circular marker are acquired with reference to the storage unit on the basis of the measured coordinates of the spot, and the circular marker is displayed on the basis of the acquired coordinates. Thus, the distance measurement is unnecessary, the configuration is simple, and the processing load is low. Additionally, since the circular marker is displayed in the vicinity of the spot (for example, centering on a spot position), there is little deviation between the spot position and a marker position, the circular marker is accurate as an indicator. Additionally, since the indicator is not widely displayed, there is little processing load.
