The image signal receiver receives a reference image signal and a laser image signal. The reference image and the laser image correspond to an optical image of an object respectively illuminated by a reference light and a laser light. An average wavelength of the laser light is shorter than that of the reference light. The first processing unit generates reference edge data and a laser edge data based on the reference image signal and the laser image signal respectively. The reference edge data and the laser edge data corresponds to a reference edge image and a laser edge image respectively. The reference edge image and the laser edge image show only edges in the reference image and the laser image respectively. The second processing unit detects a first partial edge based on the reference edge data and the laser edge data. The first partial edge is shown only in one of the reference edge image and the laser edge image.

摘要： An electronic endoscope system has a video-scope, an illumination apparatus, an imaging device, and an image synthesizing processor. The illumination apparatus illuminates a normal light and an excitation-light from the video-scope onto an object. The normal light is reflected off the object, and the excitation-light causes the object to emit fluorescence. The imaging device on the video-scope captures a normal image that is formed by the reflected normal light and a fluorescent image that is formed by the fluorescence. The image synthesizing processor synthesizes the normal image and the fluorescent image into a synthesized image. A color signal of the synthesized image is the same as a color signal of the normal image. A luminance signal or the synthesized image is obtained by mixing a luminance signal of the normal image and a luminance signal of the fluorescent image in a predetermined proportion.

摘要： An electronic endoscope system comprises a video-scope, an imaging device, and a black balance processor. The imaging device, which is provided on the video-scope, is exposed at a normal shutter speed so as to generate an image signal corresponding to an optical image that is formed thereon. The black balance processor generates a black balance value for adjusting the black balance of the image signal, based on a black image signal corresponding to a black image. The black image signal is generated by exposing the imaging device at a high shutter speed that is faster than the normal shutter speed.
