摘要:
An endoscope image data compressing apparatus comprises a plurality of image compressing apparatus not equivalent to each other for compressing input endoscope image data and outputting the compressed data and a selecting apparatus for selecting the compressed data output from at least one of the image compressing apparatus. The selecting apparatus selects the compressing method in response to the kind of the endoscope, characteristic of the image, picture quality of the compressed image, recording time intervals and others.A method for compressing endoscope image data is realized by an image compressing apparatus capable of compressing image data at different compressing rates. The endoscope image data is determined to be either ordinary image data or dyed image data and, based on this determination, is compressed at different rates. The compressing rate for dyed image data is lowered below the rate for ordinary image data.

An endoscope image signal photoelectrically converted by an image sensing device in an endoscope is compressed by an image compressing apparatus and then recorded in a recording apparatus, whereby the number of image frames recordable in the recording apparatus can be increased. Also, the image compression is effectively performed, for example, by changing a compression ratio dependent on a quantity of respective image information contained in plural components of the endoscope image signal, whereby a quantity of information actually recorded can be reduced.

There is provided a frozen picture memorizing memory holding as a frozen picture image a picture image signal imaged by an electronic endoscope. By the operation of a frozen picture directing switch, whether the frozen picture is adapted to the memorizing condition or not is judged through a picture image movement detecting circuit. In case it is judged to be adapted to the memorizing condition, the picture image signal is memorized actually as a frozen picture image to obtain a clear frozen picture having little color smear and fogging.

Arranged within a measuring-light generating unit of an endoscope apparatus for three dimensional measurement, according to the invention, are measuring means, a lamp for outgoing a normal illuminating light, and a laser for outgoing a measuring light. Connected to the measuring means is a signal line which is connected to a CCD. Further, an illuminating light outgone from the lamp is condensed by a condenser lens, and is incident upon an incident end surface of a light guide. Furthermore, the measuring light outgone from the laser is condensed by the condensing lens, and is incident upon the incident end surface of the image guide. Moreover, the incident end of the image guide is connected to scanning means formed by a piezo-electric element, a speaker (voice coil) or the like through a connecting element. The scanning means is operated whereby the incident end of the image guide is reciprocally moved in a direction perpendicular to an optical axis of the measuring light. The measuring light is a light having extension or spreading. However, a flux of light of the measuring light is extremely thin, and a spot light having minimum resolution that is a single glass fiber forming the image guide is projected onto the subject.

An endoscope image recording apparatus comprises a video endoscope having, at a forward end of an inserting section, an image pickup element, for image-picking-up the interior of a body cavity or the like, an image control unit for signal-processing a picture signal from the video endoscope, to generate an image signal, a portable IC memory card for recording the image signal from the image control unit as image data, a digital audio tape (DAT), a monitor for displaying the image signal from the image control unit or image data recorded on the IC memory card or the DATA, and indication means for indicating control operation to the image control unit. The IC memory card and the DAT tape record a serial number of the image, an INDEX image of the image, patient data, and image data. The IC memory card records an ID number of the DAT tape, while the DAT tape records an ID number of the IC memory card.

An endoscope video apparatus has an endoscope including a solid-state image sensor, for outputting an endoscopic image signal, a video processor for processing the image signal supplied from the solid-state image sensor and outputting a video signal, an image file unit for recording the video signal, and an input section for inputting retrieval data corresponding to the video signal recorded in the image file unit. A control section discriminates the presence/absence of retrieval data input from the input section. A control circuit operates an alarm unit by discrimination data representing the absence of retrieval data.

This invention provides an endoscope image data filing system comprising: a plurality of endoscope devices and a plurality of ultrasonic endoscope devices; an image data recording device which records a plurality of image information after reversibly and irreversibly compressing image signals received from the plurality of the endoscope devices and from the plurality of the ultrasonic endoscope devices; an image reproducing device (A) and an image reproducing device (B) for reproducing the image information recorded in the image data recording device; a large capacity data recording device which as required reads and writes the compressed image information recorded in the image data recording device; and a data communication device for performing communication between the image data recording device and an external host computer via a data input/output terminal device. In use of the endoscope image data filing system of the present invention, operators can manages the endoscope image data in various modes for a middle or long period. Thus, based on the patient history recorded in the endoscope image data filing system of the present invention, operators can make easily diagnosis on the patient.

An electronic endoscope apparatus serving as a frame sequential type imaging apparatus comprises an electronic endoscope for picking up an object, a CCU for driving and controlling the electronic endoscope and processing imaging signals originated from the electronic endoscope, and a high resolution monitor displaying video signals processed by the CCU. An imaging optical system is provided at the tip of the electronic endoscope to receive reflected light irradiated on an object. The imaging optical system is provided with specific wavelength optical path changing apparatus for shifting an optical path of reflected light of a predetermined wavelength range between an objective lens system and a CCD. The specific wavelength optical path changing apparatus is a plate glass which transmits frame sequential light reflected from an object through the objective lens system. A surface of the plate glass facing CCD is bisected in two and coated with a first transmission filter and second transmission filter having different transmission characteristics. From among R, G1, G2, and B regions, the first transmission filter transmits the light of R, G1, and B regions and the second transmission filter transmits the light of R and G2 regions. The second transmission filter shifts an optical axis of the transmitted light.
