Abstract
The present technology relates to an image processing apparatus, an image processing method, and a surgical system, by which a captured image can be displayed with low latency in almost real time. A DMA controllerof a CPUdivides image data, which is input via an IF card, by the number of GPU cards--in a horizontal direction and allocates them. In each of the GPU cards--, the image data is subjected to time division processing in the vertical direction. With this, the use of the plurality of GPU cards--increases the speed of processing associated with display for the image data. High-speed display is realized due to reduction in latency. The present technology is applicable to an endoscopic camera, a surgical microscope, and the like.
