Publication number: 20060176321Abstract: An endoscope apparatus captures a subject, samples data at predetermined pixel spacing as an original image, and specifies a feature point in an original image, thereby performing a measurement. When a measurement point is specified in an enlarged image in an enlarged image generating process on the original image obtained by capturing an object to be measured, and when the specified point is to be long moved on the screen, it is moved with pixel spacing of the original image. When the feature point is specified in more detail, it is moved with pixel spacing finer than the pixel spacing of the original image, thereby efficiently performing an operation in a short time. Furthermore, by switching the above-mentioned settings, a measurement point can be more easily specified in a short time.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 31, 2006Publication date: August 10, 2006Inventors: Sumito Nakano, Kiyotomi Ogawa, Mitsuo Obata
