Abstract:
The present technology relates to an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, and an endoscope system capable of providing an optimal video image to an operator in accordance with surgical scenes. A processing mode determination unit determines, in accordance with surgical scenes, a processing mode for an in-vivo image captured by an imaging apparatus including an imaging element arranged so as to enable pixel shift processing, and an image combining unit processes an image output from the imaging apparatus, in accordance with the processing mode. The present technology is applicable to, for example, an endoscope system for imaging a living body with an endoscope.

Claim (Index 13):
The information processing apparatus according to  claim 4 ,\n wherein the imaging apparatus includes a control unit that controls the imaging element in accordance with the processing mode, the processing mode includes: a first mode in which pixel shift processing is not performed and the in-vivo image captured by the imaging element is output at a constant frame rate; a second mode in which pixel shift processing is performed and an image obtained by the pixel shift processing and having higher definition than in the in-vivo image captured by the imaging element is output at a frame rate same as a frame rate in the first mode; a third mode in which pixel shift processing is not performed and an image obtained by a plurality of shots of imaging within a predetermined time is output at a frame rate higher than in the first mode; and a fourth mode in which pixel shift processing is not performed and images obtained by a plurality of shots of imaging within a predetermined time are added and then output at a frame rate same as the frame rate in the first mode, and a surgical scene suitable for providing one of an image having higher definition than in the in-vivo image captured by the imaging element and an image with less noise than in the in-vivo image captured by the imaging element is associated with one of the second mode and the fourth mode, and a surgical scene suitable for providing an image in which motion appears smoother than in the in-vivo image captured by the imaging element is associated with the third mode.
