1. An endoscopic image processing apparatus comprising:
a processor configured to:
acquire an endoscopic observation image captured by an endoscope having an insertion portion to be inserted into a body cavity of a subject, the endoscopic observation image being an observation image of an inside of the body cavity;
recognize a scene by using the endoscopic observation image;
in a case where a recognized scene recognized by the processor is a first specific scene recognized at a time of insertion of the insertion portion, store the recognized scene in a specific scene memory as the first specific scene;
output the recognized scene without changing the recognized scene in a case where the first specific scene is stored in the specific scene memory and the recognized scene is a scene on a side deeper than the first specific scene in a direction of movement of the insertion portion; and
change the recognized scene and output the changed recognized scene in a case where the first specific scene is stored in the specific scene memory and the recognized scene is a scene on a side shallower than the first specific scene in the direction of movement of the insertion portion.
