The present invention relates to an endoscope suturing device and, more specifically, to an endoscopic suturing device capable of suturing a range of incisions by using an endoscope. According to the present invention, a wide range of incisions can be continuously sutured with high suturing power by using an endoscope, the suturing procedure time can be shortened, and a suturing method using a suture can minimize leftover foreign substances in the body, and thus can prevent side effects caused by the foreign substances. In addition, by using an endoscope, suturing with high-reliability is possible regardless of the range of suture areas, and thus the present invention can be used for simple suturing procedures and various internal surgeries such as gastrointestinal reduction surgery and NOTES, which uses a natural orifice.

There is provided a device for calculating dynamic variation of an object, comprising: an enhancement processing unit that adjusts brightness of a pixel determined to indicate a particle dispersed in the object in at least two (2) images generated for the object at different time points; and a calculating unit that calculates dynamic variation of the object based on correlation of the different two (2) images processed by the enhancement processing unit. Herein, the enhancement processing unit sets brightness of a pixel having brightness with a threshold value or higher for each of the images to reference brightness higher than the threshold value.
