Abstract
An endoscope image processing apparatus includes: an image acquisition unit that acquires endoscopic images; a detection unit that detects lesion images representing lesions in the endoscopic images acquired by the image acquisition unit; a clustering unit that groups the endoscopic images on the basis of a degree of correlation between the lesion images and generates, for each lesion, a group formed of corresponding ones of the endoscopic images; a representative image selection unit that selects, for each group, a representative image from among the endoscopic images in the group; a saving unit that saves, for each group, the representative image and the endoscopic images that form the group to which the representative image belongs, in association with each other; and a display unit that displays a list of the representative images saved in the saving unit.
