Abstract
An endoscopic image observation system supports the observation of a plurality of images captured by a capsule endoscope. The endoscopic image observation system includes a distinguishing unit that outputs an accuracy score indicating the likelihood that each of the plurality of images represents an image of a region sought to be distinguished; a grouping unit that groups the plurality of images into a plurality of clusters in accordance with the accuracy score; and an identification unit that identifies a candidate image for a boundary of the region from among the plurality of images in accordance with the grouping into the plurality of clusters.
