LESION EVALUATION INFORMATION GENERATOR, AND METHOD AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM THEREFOR

A lesion evaluation information generator including a processor configured to, when executing processor-executable instructions stored in a memory, determine a hue value and a saturation value of each of pixels of an endoscopic image based on an acquired endoscopic color image data, determine, for at least a part of the pixels of the endoscopic image, a correlation value between color information of each individual pixel and reference color data, based on a hue correlation value between the hue value of each individual pixel and a reference hue value of the reference color data, and a saturation correlation value between the saturation value of each individual pixel and a reference saturation value of the reference color data, and generate an evaluation value for evaluating a severity of a lesion in the endoscopic image, by integrating the correlation value of each individual pixel.
