An image processing unit includes a shake amount calculation section and a static image-storage control section, and the shake amount calculation section includes a shake amount-calculation processing section and an algorithm switching section. The algorithm switching section applies an algorithm varying for each image, and selects images of which the shake amounts calculated by the shake amount-calculation processing section are small. A first image and a second image, which are selected as the images of which the shake amounts are small, are stored in a static image-storage unit. A display control unit displays static images for storage.

An imaging system includes a camera unit and a main body. A clock detection circuit is configured to detect a first clock signal of the camera unit from first digital data transmitted from the camera unit. A phase comparator is configured to generate second digital data that represent a difference between a phase of the first clock signal and a phase of a second clock signal of the main body. A second communicator is configured to perform communication in a second direction in which the second digital data are transmitted to the camera unit in a blanking period. A first clock generation circuit is configured to generate the first clock signal synchronized with the second clock signal on the basis of the second digital data.

A medical image processing apparatus includes: image signal acquiring circuitry configured to acquire: a first image signal generated by capturing light of a first wavelength band with an image sensor; and a second image signal generated by capturing light of a second wavelength band different from the first wavelength band with the image sensor, the first image signal and the second image signal being not subjected to the demosaic processing, and the image sensor including a color filter in which filter groups having spectroscopic properties different from each other are arranged in a specific form; a first signal path including a demosaic processor configured to execute the demosaic processing to the first image signal; and a second signal path diverged from the first signal path on a path former part from the demosaic processor, in which the demosaic processing is not executed to the second image signal.

Pulsed hyperspectral, fluorescence, and laser mapping imaging without input clock or data transmission clock is disclosed. A system includes an emitter for emitting pulses of electromagnetic radiation and an image sensor comprising a pixel array for sensing reflected electromagnetic radiation. The system includes a plurality of bidirectional data pads and a controller in communication with the image sensor. The system is such that at least a portion of the pulses of electromagnetic radiation emitted by the emitter comprises one or more of: electromagnetic radiation having a wavelength from about 513 nm to about 545 nm, from about 565 nm to about 585 nm, from about 900 nm to about 1000 nm, an excitation wavelength of electromagnetic radiation that causes a reagent to fluoresce, or a laser mapping pattern.

The disclosed technology relates to closed-loop medical imaging for a medical environment. Various embodiments provide for a surgical camera, such as an endoscopic camera, comprising one or more image sensors. The image sensors may be configured to capture multispectral image data including one or more images of biological tissue (e.g., surfaces), and may be specifically configured to capture imagery within a surgical environment. For some embodiments, different biological tissues may be visible when illuminated by different wavelengths of a multispectral light source. The wavelength setting for the multispectral light source may be determined based upon a first wavelength setting associated with a first set of multispectral image data and a second wavelength setting associated with a second set of multispectral image data.

An endoscope apparatus includes a processor. The processor conducts analysis whether an endoscope image has been appropriately captured or not on the basis of the endoscope image. The processor acquires correction restriction information that is at least one of a restriction regarding a size of a lumen of an image-captured portion or a restriction regarding a submucosa state of the image-captured portion. The processor generates correction information regarding correction of image-capturing conditions for allowing the endoscope image to be appropriately captured under a restriction of the correction restriction information in a case where it is analyzed that the endoscope image has not been appropriately captured, and outputs the correction information on a monitor.

A moving image file acquired by a swallowing examination is analyzed to determine whether or not a swallowing timing which is swallowing in a pharyngeal stage. In a case in which the swallowing timing is detected, the extraction, screen display, and automatic playback of an index moving image based on the swallowing timing are performed.
