BACKGROUND

The present disclosure relates to a processing device, a setting method and a computer-readable recording medium.

In the related art, a technique for changing setting values for respective multiple sets of image processing that are executed by an image processor in order to obtain preferable observation images in a processing device (processor) to which an endoscope is connected has been known (see Japanese Laid-open Patent Publication No. 2010-142288). This technique automatically changes the setting values for the respective multiple sets of image processing that are executed by the image processor according to the temperature of an imaging device that is provided at the tip part of the endoscope.

SUMMARY

According to one aspect of the present disclosure, there is provided a processing device to which an endoscope inserted into a subject is connected, the processing device including: an image processor configured to execute image processing based on a setting value set in advance relating to the image processing on image data generated by the endoscope by capturing an image of an inside of the subject; a recorder configured to record setting information as setting values for respective multiple sets of image processing, the setting values being determined according to a combination of: at least one of identification information for identifying a type of the endoscope and observation light information about observation light that is emittable by a light source device that supplies the observation light to the endoscope for irradiating the inside of the subject; each of multiple modes; and an acquisition unit configured to acquire: at least one of the identification information for identifying the endoscope connected to the processing device and the observation light information supplied by the light source device; and information about one of the multiple modes selected by a user; and a setting unit configured to set the setting information specified based on a result of acquisition by the acquisition unit as the setting values used in the image processing executed by the image processor.

The above and other features, advantages and technical and industrial significance of this disclosure will be better understood by reading the following detailed description of presently preferred embodiments of the disclosure, when considered in connection with the accompanying drawings.
