Abstract
There is provided an image processing apparatus, method, and program for an endoscope image having a high degree of freedom of color assignment according to the shape feature of a structure. A structure region image is generated by extracting one or more structure regions from an image signal obtained by imaging an observation target in the living body. A shape feature amount of the structure region is calculated based on the structure region image, and a color corresponding to the feature amount is assigned to the structure region. A reduced original image is generated by performing processing for reducing at least one of the color or the contrast on an original image in which the observation target is drawn in color. A composite image is generated by superimposing the reduced original image and the structure region image subjected to the color assignment.
