Abstract
Provided are an apparatus and a method for executing image quality enhancement processing on a fluorescence image. A fluorescence image and a visible light image are input and the image feature amount is extracted, so as to execute pixel value correction processing on the fluorescence image on the basis of a correction parameter determined in accordance with the feature amount. The correction parameter used for pixel value correction is determined by the correction parameter calculation unit on the basis of the feature amount. The image correction unit executes pixel value correction processing that applies the correction parameter determined by the correction parameter calculation unit. For example, blur mode information is obtained as a feature amount from a fluorescence image, and the image correction unit executes pixel value correction processing on the fluorescence image so as to reduce blur of the fluorescence image.
