Abstract:
A controller has an image processing unit that performs various types of image processing. The image processing unit has a memory unit that sets IDs by expressing a plurality of pixel values in a series of bits and stores computation results obtained by combining all of the pixel values by associating with the IDs in advance, and a reading unit that reads the computation result stored in the memory unit using the ID obtained by expressing the plurality of input pixel values in a series of bits.

Claim (Index 4):
An imaging apparatus comprising:\n an excitation light source that irradiates excitation light for exciting a fluorescent dye injected into an examinee onto the examinee; a camera that obtains a fluorescent image by capturing fluorescence generated from the fluorescent dye by irradiating the excitation light; an image processing unit that performs image processing to display the fluorescent image obtained by the camera on a display unit, the image processing unit performing noise rejection for an image captured by the camera using a noise rejection filter that performs computation using an input pixel value and a reference pixel value; a memory unit that sets an ID by expressing the input pixel value and the reference pixel value in a series of bits and stores computation results obtained by combining all of the input pixel values and all of the reference pixel values by associating with the IDs in advance; and a reading unit that reads the computation result stored in the memory unit using the ID obtained by expressing the input pixel value and the reference pixel value input at the time of the noise rejection in a series of bits.
