Abstract
The present invention is provided with an imaging unit () that has an imaging head () to be inserted into the digestive tract () and images a living body by applying a laser to the digestive tract () via the imaging head (); a control unit () for controlling the imaging head () to move inside the digestive tract (); and an image processing unit () for processing an image captured by the imaging unit (). The imaging unit () captures a plurality of imaging regions (P) to be imaged along with the movement of the imaging head () such that a portion of adjacent imaging regions (P, P) overlap, and the image processing unit () overlaps regions (Pa) in which the plurality of imaging regions (P, P) are overlapped to generate a composite image.
