ABSTRACT:
The present invention discloses a capsule endoscope image display controller (26) including: an image-to-image similarity calculating unit (36) that calculates, for each image included in an image sequence captured by a capsule endoscope which moves within the digestive organs, a similarity between the image and its temporally consecutive image; an amount-of-movement calculating unit (47) that calculates, for each image included in the image sequence, an amount of movement of a feature area included in the image; a video state classifying unit (41) that classifies, for each image included in the image sequence, a video state of the image into one of the following states, based on the video state, the similarity, and the amount of movement of the image: (a) “stationary state” indicating that the capsule endoscope is stationary, (b) “digestive organs deformation state” indicating that the digestive organs are deformed, and (c) “capsule moving state” indicating that the capsule endoscope is moving, based on the similarity and the amount of movement of the image; a rendering duration determining unit (42) that determines, for each image included in the image sequence, a rendering duration between the image and its temporally consecutive image; and a display controlling unit (44) that sequentially displays, on a screen, the images included in the image sequence with the determined rendering durations.
