Abstract:
An image analysis apparatus includes a region extraction unit configured to determine, as analysis target regions, respective predetermined regions in a first image and a second image that are acquired at timings before and after execution of a predetermined action to a subject and inputted through an image input unit in a state where an endoscope is continuously inserted in the subject, a distribution characteristic value calculation unit configured to obtain a first distribution characteristic value by extracting a color component of the analysis target region in the first image, and to obtain a second distribution characteristic value by extracting a color component of the analysis target region in the second image, and an image analysis unit configured to calculate the degree of change in the second distribution characteristic value with respect to the first distribution characteristic value.

Claim (Index 7):
The image analysis apparatus according to  claim 5 , wherein\n the elements are included in an intestinal villus image part, and the region extraction unit extracts, from each of the first and second images, the predetermined number of elements of interest each including an image part where a mucous epithelium formed on a surface of the intestinal villus is shown as the annular surrounding portion and an image part where an area surrounded by the mucous epithelium is shown as the center portion colored in the color different from the color of the mucous epithelium, and determines, as the analysis target regions, the center portions of the predetermined number of extracted elements of interest.
