Image processing apparatus, image display system, and image processing method and program

Abstract

There is provided an image processing apparatus which can prevent the case where it is difficult to perform highly accurate diagnosis using combined boundary regions in a combined image. An image processing apparatus includes image data acquisition means, combined-image data generation means, and combined-boundary-region display data generation means. The image data acquisition means acquires multiple pieces of divided image data obtained by capturing images of multiple regions into which a captured area for an imaging target is divided. The combined-image data generation means generates combined-image data on the basis of the multiple divided image data. The combined-boundary-region display data generation means generates display image data to be used for an observer to recognize combined boundary regions in the combined-image data. The combined-boundary-region display data generation means changes at least one of a color and a brightness for all of the combined boundary regions included in a display area.

1 . An image processing apparatus comprising:
 image data acquisition means that acquires a plurality of pieces of divided image data obtained by capturing images of a plurality of regions into which a captured area for an imaging target is divided;   combined-image data generation means that generates combined-image data on the basis of the plurality of divided image data; and   combined-boundary-region display data generation means that generates display image data to be used for an observer to recognize combined boundary regions in the combined-image data,   wherein the combined-boundary-region display data generation means changes at least one of a color and a brightness for all of the combined boundary regions included in a display area.
