PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To generate an image suitable for observation while simplifying a structure. SOLUTION: In a medical image processing apparatus 9, an observation target is irradiated with excitation light, and the excitation light through the observation target and the fluorescence from the observation target excited by the excitation light are imaged by an image pickup device 521. It includes an image pickup image acquisition unit 91 that acquires an image pickup image, and an image processing unit 92 that executes image processing on the image pickup image. A color filter 522 in which a plurality of filter groups having different spectral characteristics are arranged in a specific format is provided on the light receiving surface of the image sensor 521. The captured image contains first component information of a plurality of colors corresponding to the spectral characteristics of the plurality of filter groups. The image processing unit 92 combines at least two first component information out of the first component information of the plurality of colors to generate the second component information, and the second component information of the plurality of colors is based on the second component information. The color correction process for correcting the component information of 1 is executed. [Selection diagram] Fig. 2【課題】構造の簡素化を図りつつ、観察に適した画像を生成すること。【解決手段】医療用画像処理装置９は、観察対象に励起光が照射され、観察対象を介した励起光と励起光によって励起された観察対象からの蛍光とが撮像素子５２１にて撮像された撮像画像を取得する撮像画像取得部９１と、撮像画像に対して画像処理を実行する画像処理部９２とを備える。撮像素子５２１の受光面には、互いに異なる分光特性を有する複数のフィルタ群が特定の形式で配列されたカラーフィルタ５２２が設けられている。撮像画像は、複数のフィルタ群の分光特性にそれぞれ応じた複数の色の第１の成分情報を含む。画像処理部９２は、複数の色の第１の成分情報のうち少なくとも２つの第１の成分情報を組み合わせて第２の成分情報を生成し、第２の成分情報に基づいて複数の色の第１の成分情報を補正する色補正処理を実行する。【選択図】図２
