  • Publication number: 20240127948
    Abstract: The present technology relates to a patient monitoring system capable of appropriately monitoring a condition of a patient. A patient monitoring system of the present technology includes: an estimation unit that inputs vital information indicating a vital sign of a patient and video analysis information obtained by analyzing a video showing the patient to a first learning model to estimate a state of the patient; and a monitoring unit that monitors a state of the patient on the basis of an estimation result by the estimation unit. The present technology can be applied to, for example, a monitoring system provided in an ICU.

  • Publication number: 20220386854
    Abstract: To provide an image processing apparatus, an image processing method, and an endoscope system by which deep tissues and superficial blood vessels enhanced with improved visibility can be displayed to a surgeon in real time. An image processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present technology includes an enhancement processing unit that performs enhancement processing on low-frequency components that are a range lower than a predetermined spatial frequency in an input image, performs enhancement processing on high-frequency components that are a range higher than the low-frequency components in the input image, and outputs the input image having the low-frequency components and the high-frequency components each subjected to enhancement processing.

  • Patent number: 11272844
    Abstract: [Problem] To predict a remaining time during which a fluorescence image is observable. [Solution] An information processing device according to the present disclosure includes a remaining time estimation unit that estimates, on the basis of a luminance limit value for observation of a fluorescence image and a change in luminance of a fluorescence image, a remaining time until the luminance of the fluorescence image reaches the luminance limit value. This configuration enables the time at which the luminance of a fluorescence image reaches the luminance limit value to be estimated according to a change in luminance of the fluorescence image, and it is possible to predict a remaining time during which a fluorescence image is observable.
