MEASURING ENDOSCOPE APPARATUS, PROGRAM AND RECORDING MEDIUM
First Claim
1. A measuring endoscope apparatus comprising:
- an endoscope that photoelectrically converts an image of an object to generate an imaging signal,a signal processing section that processes the imaging signal to generate image data,a distance-measuring section that calculates an object distance using the image data, anda display section that displays the image of the object based on the image data,wherein the display section further displays a mark based on a real shape of the object.

Abstract
The present invention provides a measuring endoscope apparatus which includes an endoscope that photoelectrically converts an image of an object to generate an imaging signal, a signal processing section that processes the imaging signal to generate image data, a distance measuring section that calculates an object distance based on a principle of triangulation using the image data, and a display section that displays the image of the object based on the image data. The measuring endoscope apparatus further includes a measuring section that calculates a size of the mark indicating a size of the object based on the object distance and a view angle of the endoscope. The display section also displays a mark along with the image of the object based on the image data.
