The scaling section performs a local scaling process that relatively enlarges the attention area as compared with another area. | 02-13-2014 |
20140081083 | ENDOSCOPE SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR OPERATING ENDOSCOPE SYSTEM - An endoscope system includes an image acquisition section, an attention area setting section, and a dimming control section. The image acquisition section acquires a captured image that includes an object image. The attention area setting section sets an attention area within the captured image based on information from the endoscope system. The dimming control section performs a dimming control process that controls the intensity of illumination light based on the attention area set by the attention area setting section. | 03-20-2014 |
20140210972 | FOCUS CONTROL DEVICE, ENDOSCOPE SYSTEM, AND FOCUS CONTROL METHOD - The focus control device includes a focus control section that controls an imaging optical system that is configured so that an in-focus object plane position is changed when an imaging magnification is changed, an image acquisition section that acquires a plurality of images captured through the imaging optical system at a different imaging magnification, and a change-in-magnification detection section that detects a change in magnification that is at least one of a change in the imaging magnification and a change in size of an object within an image among the plurality of images, the focus control section driving the imaging optical system based on an AF evaluation value that indicates the focus state of the imaging optical system and calculated based on the image and the change in magnification to control focus of the imaging optical system. | 07-31-2014 |
