Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An image processing apparatus including: an examination image obtaining unit obtaining an examination image of an examination subject; a shift-invariant feature quantity calculating unit calculating, for each pixel, a shift-invariant feature quantity represented by predetermined base vectors, from the examination image obtained by the examination image obtaining unit; a selecting unit selecting, on the examination image, a pixel having a matching degree lower than or equal to a predetermined threshold, between (i) a relative positional relationship of classes in normal images each of which does not include a lesion site and (ii) a relative positional relationship of the classes to which shift-invariant feature quantities respectively belong in the examination image, the classes being obtained by clustering the shift-invariant feature quantities: calculated from pixels included in the normal images; and represented by the predetermined base vectors; and an output unit outputting a result of the selection performed by the selecting unit.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. An image processing apparatus comprising: a non-transitory memory storing a program; and a hardware processor that executes the program, the program causing the image processing apparatus to operate as: an examination image obtaining unit configured to obtain an examination image which is an image of an examination subject; a shift-invariant feature quantity calculating unit configured to calculate, for each pixel, a shift-invariant feature quant…
