Abstract: A multitenant management system selects a name space corresponding to a user from a plurality of name spaces and determines whether the user is a legitimate user by using user management information of the name space. When a result of the determination is positive, the system determines whether a resource of an access destination conforming to the received resource access request falls within a resource access range corresponding to one tenant scope indicated by the user management information of the selected name space. When the result of the determination is positive, the system executes the resource access request.

Abstract: A display processing unit causes a display device to display an endoscopic image of a living tissue in a somatic cavity captured by an endoscope. An operation reception unit receives a user operation that is performed so as to set an area of interest in the endoscopic image. An area-of-interest setting unit sets the area of interest in the endoscopic image based on the user operation. A three-dimensional information acquisition unit acquires three-dimensional shape information of the living tissue captured by the endoscope. A virtual surface derivation unit derives three-dimensional shape information of a virtual surface in the area of interest from three-dimensional shape information of an area different from the area of interest. A size information identification unit identifies information concerning a size of the virtual surface from the three-dimensional shape information of the virtual surface.
