Abstract:
An endoscope shape analysis apparatus includes a coordinates obtaining portion for obtaining coordinate values of an insertion portion; a storage portion for storing the coordinate values; a straight line setting portion for setting a first straight line A and a second straight line B, based on the coordinate values; a coordinate transformation portion for transforming coordinates of a previous second straight line B1, based on a positional relationship between a previous first straight line A1 and the first straight line A, to calculate a third straight line B2; a determination portion for determining whether there is an error in a position display from a positional relationship between the first straight line A, the second straight line B, and the third straight line B2; and a correction portion for correcting the second straight line B.
