Description

To solve the above problems, this invention proposes the following means. An endoscope auxiliary information generation device according to a first aspect of the present invention comprises: an image acquisition unit that sequentially acquires a plurality of images of a living body obtained by the imaging unit of an endoscope; a focus area detection unit that detects a focus area having specific features in the images; a relative position change detection unit that detects a change in the relative position between the imaging unit and the object being imaged by the imaging unit based on the images; and an auxiliary information generation unit that generates auxiliary information to guide the operation of the endoscope in accordance with the continuous change in the relative position, wherein when the relative position change detection unit detects that the continuous change in the relative position is mainly due to the movement of the living body, the auxiliary information generation unit generates the auxiliary information in accordance with the change in the focus area .
