Claim 0:
1. An endoscope apparatus comprising:
a display; and
one or more processors, configured to:
acquire, in a case where a lesion is detected from time-series images captured during an endoscopic examination period, acquired lesion information that indicates at least one of a first lesion image representing the detected lesion or a feature value indicating a feature of the first lesion image;
compare an existing feature value indicating a feature of a second lesion image in existing lesion information, which is the acquired lesion information previously, with the feature value that indicates the feature of the first lesion image in a newly acquired lesion information and determine whether the newly acquired lesion information indicates the same lesion indicated by the existing lesion information on basis of whether a similarity between the existing feature value and the feature value is equal to or higher than a threshold value;
count a lesion count, which is the number of lesions detected in a single endoscopic examination;
control the display to display the lesion count; and
increment the lesion count by one when the one or more processors determines that the newly acquired lesion information does not indicate the same lesion indicated by the existing lesion information.
