Abstract

An endoscope apparatus includes: a light source apparatus; an image pickup apparatus configured to pick up an image of an object including a region containing hemoglobin irradiated with illumination light and output an image-pickup signal; and a processor. The processor performs predetermined image processing on at least one of a first image and a second image and outputs the one image, the first image being obtained by performing image pickup of the object irradiated with the first light, the second image being obtained by performing image pickup of the object irradiated with the second light, and generates an observation image by using the first and second images obtained as a processing result of the predetermined image processing.
