摘要： A CPU executes a gray value gradient calculation process to, for example, an R signal in step S10, executes an isotropic change feature value calculation process based on a gray value gradient calculated in step S11, and further executes a possible polyp detection process for generating a possible polyp image at a location where a polyp exists based on an isotropic change feature value calculated in step S12.

摘要： A CPU implements a possible polyp detection process of step S4 to execute processing for each label value of a thinned image and superimpose a processing result on a possible polyp image, thereby generating a possible polyp labeling image in which a possible polyp edge is labeled. The possible polyp labeling image, in which the possible polyp image is superimposed on an original image, is displayed on a display device so that a possible polyp location on the image can be easily checked, thereby improving the detection accuracy of an intraluminal abnormal tissue.
