ABSTRACT:
An endoscope inserting direction detecting system receives an endoscopic image, detects an endoscope inserting direction, in which an endoscope should be inserted, on the basis of the endoscopic image and produces information concerning the detected inserting direction. A plurality of detecting algorithms, each of which detect the inserting direction, are included and any of the plurality of detecting algorithms can be selected based on the endoscopic image.
