1. A medical image processing apparatus comprising:
a memory that temporarily stores an image;
circuitry configured to:
acquire a first captured image obtained by capturing light from an observation target that emits fluorescence when irradiated with excitation light in a second wavelength band different from a first wavelength band and is irradiated with light in the first wavelength band;
acquire a second captured image obtained by capturing the fluorescence from the observation target irradiated with the excitation light;
switch between a first observation mode and a second observation mode; and
control writing of an image into the memory and reading of an image from the memory; and
a plurality of image processing circuits that execute image processing in parallel on each input image, wherein
the circuitry,
in the first observation mode, writes the first captured image into a first memory area in the memory, reads a plurality of divided images obtained by dividing the first captured image into a number corresponding to a number of the image processing circuits from a plurality of divided areas in the first memory area, respectively, in which the plurality of divided images is written, respectively, and outputs the plurality of divided images to the plurality of image processing circuits, respectively, and
in the second observation mode, writes the first captured image and the second captured image into a second memory area and a third memory area, respectively, each having a same memory capacity as a memory capacity of each of the divided areas in the memory, reads the first captured image and the second captured image from the second memory area and the third memory area, respectively, and outputs the first captured image and the second captured image into two image processing circuits of the plurality of image processing circuits, respectively.
