1. A capsule medical device comprising:
- an image pickup unit that captures an image of a subject, and outputs the image of the subject as an image pickup signal; and
a control unit that determines with respect to similarity among a plurality of images contained in an image group in accordance with the image pickup signals of two or more frames among those output from the image pickup unit based on a predetermined threshold value indicating a magnitude of fluctuation between the images contained in the image group, and controls to output an image signal based on a result of the determination.

Abstract
An image pickup unit captures an image of a subject and outputs the image of the subject as an image pickup signal. A control unit determines with respect to similarity among a plurality of images contained in an image group in accordance with the image pickup signals of two or more frames among those output from the image pickup unit based on a predetermined threshold value indicating a magnitude of fluctuation between the images contained in the image group, and controls to output an image signal based on a result of the determination.

17. A medical control device comprising:
-
a selector unit for selectively outputting an image signal output from a medical device equipped with an image pickup unit that outputs a captured subject image as the image signal; and a control unit for determining with respect to a similarity between images among a plurality of images contained in an image group in accordance with the image signals of two or more frames among image signals output from the medical device based on a predetermined threshold value indicating fluctuation between the images contained in the image group, and controls to allow the selector unit to output the image signal based on a result of the determination. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)

25. A medical image processing device comprising:
-
a selector unit for selectively outputting an image signal output from a medical control device for controlling a medical device equipped with an image pickup unit that outputs a captured subject image as the image signal; and a control unit for determining with respect to similarity between images among a plurality of images contained in an image group in accordance with the image pickup signal of two or more frames among image signals output from the medical control device based on a predetermined threshold value indicating a fluctuation between the images contained in the image group, and executes a predetermined control to allow the selector unit to output the image signal based on a result of the determination. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36)
