ENDOSCOPE APPARATUS FOR MEASURING LESION VOLUME USING DEPTH MAP AND METHOD FOR MEASURING LESION VOLUME USING THE APPARATUS

摘要

The present invention relates to an endoscope device (10) for measuring the volume of a lesion using a depth map, more specifically as an endoscope device (10), provided at the end of the tube (11) of the endoscope device (10), the endoscope device Distance information measuring unit 100 for measuring the distance information between the end of the tube 11 and the lesion of the (10); A camera unit 200 for photographing an image inside the body; An image extracting unit 300 extracting an image including the lesion from an image photographed by the camera unit 200; An image conversion unit 400 for converting the image extracted by the image extraction unit 300 into a black and white image; A contour image generator 500 for generating a contour image using the black and white image converted by the image converter 400; A depth map generator 600 for generating a depth map using the contour image generated by the contour image generator 500; And a lesion location and volume measurement determination unit 700 for measuring the location and volume of the lesion using the distance information measured by the distance information measuring unit 100 and the depth map. In addition, the present invention relates to a method for measuring a lesion volume using a depth map, and more specifically, as a method for measuring a lesion volume, (1) collecting distance information and images inside the body measured using the endoscope device 10 ; (2) extracting an image containing a lesion from the image collected in step (1); (3) converting the image containing the lesion extracted in step (2) into a black and white image; (4) generating a contour image using the black and white image converted in step (3); (5) generating a depth map using the contour image generated in step (4); And (6) measuring the location and volume of the lesion using the distance information collected in step (1) and the depth map generated in step (5). According to the endoscope device 10 for measuring the volume of a lesion using a depth map proposed by the present invention and a method for measuring the volume of a lesion using the same, the actual size of the lesion is accurately derived and the depth is determined using the distance between the endoscope device 10 and the lesion. By creating a map (Depth Map) and displaying the lesion in a three-dimensional coordinate system, the volume of the lesion can be measured.
