Abstract: The present technology relates to an endoscope apparatus configured to be capable of assisting with setting of an angle of view of immediately before an endoscope is pulled out when the endoscope is pulled out and cleaned and then reinserted during surgery in endoscopic surgery and the like, and a method and program for operating the endoscope apparatus. An image captured by the endoscope apparatus is recorded, a feature value of the image captured is detected, a difference between detected feature values of consecutive images is obtained, and, when the difference is greater than a predetermined threshold value, an index is added to the image captured. Thus, the index is added to an image of immediately before the endoscope is pulled out from a body cavity, and the image is recorded. Then, when the endoscope is pulled out and then reinserted, the images each to which the index is added are displayed as a list, and information indicating an angle of view in an image selected is displayed to be superimposed on information indicating an angle of view of an image currently captured after reinsertion, whereby assist display to an original angle of view is obtained. The present technology can be applied to the endoscope apparatus.

Abstract: The present technology relates to an image processing device, an image processing method, a program, and an endoscope system that can reduce a burden on a user. A parallax amount adjustment unit adjusts the parallax amount of a three-dimensional (3D) biological image of an imaged living organism, depending on whether the parallax of the 3D biological image puts a burden on a user. The present technology can be applied to an endoscope system or the like that captures an image of a living organism with an endoscope, for example.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes an output value obtaining unit, a first interpolation unit, a second interpolation unit, an image generation unit, and a first edge detection unit. The output value obtaining unit obtains respective output values of a plurality of light-receiving elements from an image sensor including the plurality of light-receiving elements arranged two-dimensionally. The first interpolation unit uses a first interpolation algorithm to interpolate a pixel value. The second interpolation unit uses a second interpolation algorithm to interpolate a pixel value. The image generation unit generates an image based on a pixel value, which is interpolated by the first interpolation unit. The first edge detection unit detects an edge using a first edge detection algorithm based on a pixel value, which is interpolated by the second interpolation unit.

Abstract: There is provided an information processing apparatus and method that allow a user to easily adequately move a display area by guiding a browsed part when a needle biopsy image is browsed. The information processing apparatus includes a storage unit to store a pathological image of a specimen and guide information along the center line of a shape of the specimen in the pathological image, a display control unit to display at least a part of the stored pathological image, as an observation image, on a screen, an input unit to receive an instruction for changing a range on the pathological image of the observation image displayed on the screen, from a user, and a control unit to calculate the range on the pathological image of the observation image based on the instruction and the stored guide information.
