Abstract:
1. An image processing system in which an image processing device and an image processing terminal are connected to each other via a network, wherein: the image processing device comprises: a dye-amount estimating unit that estimates a dye amount of a stained sample stained with a predetermined dye based on a stained sample image obtained by capturing a multiband image of the stained sample, for each pixel of the stained sample image; a dye-amount transmitting unit that transmits the estimated dye amount of the stained sample to the image processing terminal; a spectrum estimating unit that estimates a spectrum at a position on the stained sample corresponding to each pixel of the stained sample image based on the stained sample image; a residual-spectrum calculating unit that calculates a residual spectrum based on a spectrum estimated by the spectrum estimating unit and a spectrum to be restored based on the estimated dye amount of the stained sample; and a residual-spectrum transmitting unit that transmits the residual spectrum to the image processing terminal; the image processing terminal comprises: a dye-amount receiving unit that receives a dye amount of the stained sample transmitted from the image processing device; a pixel-value calculating unit that calculates a pixel value of a display image of the stained sample by using a predetermined dye-amount correction coefficient based on the received dye amount of the stained sample; a residual-spectrum receiving unit that receives the residual spectrum transmitted from the image processing device; a first corrected-pixel-value calculating unit that calculates a first corrected pixel value for correcting the pixel value by using the dye-amount correction coefficient, based on the received dye amount of the stained sample and the residual spectrum; and an image display unit that displays a display image of the stained sample based on the first corrected pixel value of the display image of the stained sample.
