  • Publication number: 20240404060
    Abstract: A method for narrow-band image generation is provided. First obtaining an input image of an object by an image capture unit. Then converting the input image according to an image conversion model and at least one target wave band corresponding to a narrow-band light source to get a simulated narrow-band image. Lastly comparing a simulated narrow-band image information of the simulated narrow-band image with a reference narrow-band image information according to at least one objective similarity index to generate an index data for determining similarity between the simulated narrow-band image information and the reference narrow-band image information. Thereby the simulated narrow-band image is checked by the objective similarity index combined with simulation of narrow-band images using hyperspectral techniques to help doctors in interpretation of endoscopic images.

  • Publication number: 20240386548
    Abstract: The present application related to a method for deleting redundant images of an endoscope. Firstly, a host receives an input image datum from an endoscopy, hereby, capturing a plurality of corresponded input images from the input image data. Next, a plurality of dimension reduction data are obtained to operate with at least one adjacent dimension reduction datum, and then, a plurality of root mean squared error values are obtained to compare with an error threshold value. Hereby, at least one image unarrived the error threshold value are deleted to obtain a plurality of screened images. Thus, redundant images in the input image data of the endoscopy will be deleted to prevent from performing an image analysis of same images or approximated images.
