    Abstract: The present technology relates to an image processing apparatus and method and an endoscopic system that permit reduction of uneven illumination distribution. An image processing apparatus includes a signal processing section that corrects uneven illumination of an image shot with a subject within a body of a patient to be operated on illuminated by a light source. The light source is arranged within the patient's body. The signal processing section corrects uneven illumination on the basis of a normally illuminated image and a low illuminated image. The normally illuminated image is shot with the subject within the body illuminated at a given illumination intensity. The low illuminated image is shot with the subject illuminated at a lower illumination intensity than the given illumination intensity.

    Abstract: [Problem] To allow a plurality of doctors spatially isolated from each other to cooperate in a more preferable aspect.
    [Solution] A medical observation system includes: a first medical signal processing device including a first signal processing unit configured to acquire first image data corresponding to a result of image capturing of an affected part by a medical observation device and provide first signal processing to the first image data; and a second medical signal processing device including a second signal processing unit configured to acquire second image data corresponding to the result of image capturing from the first medical signal processing device through a predetermined network and provide second signal processing to the second image data. The second signal processing unit transmits information related to the second signal processing to the first medical signal processing device. The first signal processing unit controls the first signal processing in accordance with the second signal processing.

    Abstract: [Object] To effectively eliminate an effect of smoke that is generated by cauterization of a tissue. [Solving Means] Provided is a control apparatus including a control unit configured to control smoke removal processing on an image of a living body taken during surgery and actual smoke evacuation of smoke in the living body, in which the control unit allows execution of at least the smoke removal processing on the basis of a fact that the smoke has been detected. Also provided is a control system including: an endoscope configured to take an image of a living body during surgery; a control apparatus configured to control smoke removal processing on the image of the living body and actual smoke evacuation of smoke in the living body; and a smoke evacuation apparatus configured to execute the actual smoke evacuation of the smoke on a basis of control by the control apparatus, in which the control apparatus executes at least the smoke removal processing on a basis of a fact that the smoke has been detected.
