    Abstract: A three-dimensional endoscope comprises a video signal input portion to which a first video signal is obtained by a first imaging system and a second video signal is obtained by a second imaging system are inputted. A video signal identification portion that identifies a two-dimensional video signal and a three-dimensional video signal are obtained from the video signal input portion. An image condition detection portion that when the video signal identification portion has detected the two-dimensional video signal, analyzes a display area of a two-dimensional image to detect a foggy region. An image combining portion that, when the image condition detection portion has detected a foggy region in a video of at least one of the first imaging system and the second imaging system, combines both of the first video signal and the second video signal to generate a composite image in which fogginess of the foggy region being eliminated.

    Abstract: An endoscope apparatus includes: a display image selecting portion that selectively outputs one of a surgical image and a gastrointestinal image inputted via an input portion or outputs both of the surgical image and the gastrointestinal image; a combining portion that generates, when both of the surgical image and the gastrointestinal image are outputted by the display image selecting portion, a composite image for performing two-screen display of the surgical image and the gastrointestinal image; and a processor that performs image judgment processing, the processor detecting whether a high-luminance area formed by illumination light radiated at a time of image pickup by the gastrointestinal endoscope exists in the surgical image; and deciding, when detecting that the high-luminance area exists in the surgical image when the surgical image is displayed in one screen, a display method for causing two-screen display based on the composite image to be displayed.
