Patent ID: 8167789

Claim:
An image processing system comprising: a body-insertable apparatus including an imaging unit that captures inside of a subject and an output unit that outputs image data obtained by the imaging unit to the outside; and an external device including an input unit that receives the image data, a first orientation specifying unit that specifies orientation of the body-insertable apparatus at the time of capturing the image data with respect to a reference direction, a rotation correcting unit that performs rotation correction on image data which is received by the input unit based on the orientation specified by the first orientation specifying unit, thereby aligning orientations of a plurality of pieces of image data, a screen generating unit that generates a screen displaying the image data subjected to the rotation correction in the rotation correcting unit, an average color bar generating unit that calculates an average color of the image data subjected to the rotation correction in the rotation correcting unit, generates an image of the calculated average color, and generates an average color bar in which images of the generated average colors are connected in accordance with order of the image data, and an organ image generating unit that generates an organ image, as an image of an organ in the subject, obtained by superimposing the images of the average colors generated by the average color bar generating unit, wherein the screen generating unit generates the screen in which the average color bar generated by the average color bar generating unit is incorporated, and incorporates the organ image generated by the organ image generating unit into the screen.
