  • Patent number: 11950757
    Abstract: A bar is displayed in a second region. In an undetected state in which a region of interest is not detected, the length of the bar is 0, and when the undetected state transitions to a detected state in which the region of interest is detected, the bar increases in length over time. In addition, when the detected state transitions to the undetected state, display of the bar is continued with the length fixed. Thus, even in the undetected state, it is known that the region of interest has been previously detected. In addition, even in the undetected state, the region-of-interest detected duration is known from the length of the bar.

  • Patent number: 11478136
    Abstract: An endoscope system and an operation method therefor in which information regarding a residual liquid is obtained to efficiently remove the residual liquid are provided. On the basis of image signals in a plurality of wavelength ranges, baseline information that is information regarding a light scattering characteristic or a light absorption characteristic of an observation target and that does not depend on specific biological information is calculated. A baseline correction value for adjusting the baseline information to reference baseline information that is a reference for evaluating the baseline information is calculated. From the baseline correction value, residual liquid information regarding a residual liquid included in the observation target is calculated.
