Abstract:
An abnormal pattern detection processing method, comprising the steps of:i) performing abnormal pattern detection processing on a received entire area image signal, which represents an entire area image, an abnormal pattern embedded in said entire area image being thereby detected, ii) setting a local area limited region, which is constituted of the detected abnormal pattern and a region neighboring with the abnormal pattern, as a region-of-interest image, and iii) feeding information defined in one of (1), (2), (3), and (4) into an external image display terminal: (1) said entire area image signal and a detection result signal, which represents detection results of the abnormal pattern having been detected, (2) said entire area image signal, said detection result signal, and a region-of-interest image signal, which represents said region-of-interest image, (3) an embedding entire area image signal representing an embedding entire area image, which is formed by embedding the detection results of the abnormal pattern into said entire area image, and (4) said embedding entire area image signal and said region-of-interest image signal.
