  • Publication number: 20210393116
    Abstract: An endoscope device includes: an image sensor that has a first color filter and a second color filter and that acquires a first image signal based on a first light transmitted through the first color filter and a second image signal based on a second light transmitted through the second color filter; and one or more processors configured to: perform color separation processing and individual-difference correction processing; and respectively allocate the first and second image signals after the processings being performed to first and second channels of a color image signal. The color separation processing is processing in which the second and first light are subtracted from the first and second image signals, respectively. The individual-difference correction processing is processing in which, for each image signals, an error is corrected based on the difference in spectral characteristics between the color filter and a reference color filter.

  • Publication number: 20210278658
    Abstract: An endoscope light source device includes a light source device and a light source controller. A first light and a second light are narrow band light in a blue region. A third light is in a green region. A fourth light is in a red region. A first light amount ratio is a ratio of a sum of the light amounts of the first light and the second light, the light amount of the third light, and the light amount of the fourth light. A second light amount ratio is a light amount ratio of the first light and the second light. The light source controller adjusts the light amount ratio of the first light and the second light to achieve the second light amount ratio so as to adjust the color representation from a yellow region to a red region in an image of an object.

  • Patent number: 8123680
    Abstract: An endoscope includes an image acquisition device, an objective optical system having a predetermined optical axis, first and second light guiding members that emit first and second illumination light, first and second optical systems that refract the first and second illumination light to intersect with the optical axis of the objective optical system, and a tube-like inserted portion having a distal end. The first and second optical systems are disposed at substantially mirror symmetrical positions at the distal end having a shoulder portion that becomes narrower toward the tip. When viewed from the optical axis direction of the objective optical system, the inclination directions at substantially the center of the outer surfaces of the first and second optical systems and straight lines that pass through the center of the objective optical system and the centers of the first and second optical systems form angles of 30° or less.
