Abstract
An image processing apparatus includes an organ determination unit that determines a type of observation target which appears in a target image among a sequence of observation images, an imaging distance estimation unit that estimates an imaging distance at a time of image pickup of the observation image, an abnormal region detection unit that detects an abnormal region, which is a specific region, from the target image using an abnormality detection parameter, and an image processing control unit that sets as the abnormality detection parameter, a parameter value corresponding to a result of determination by the organ determination unit, and causes the abnormal region detection unit to detect an abnormal region using the abnormality detection parameter.
