Ophthalmic image processing apparatus and ophthalmic imaging apparatus

An ophthalmic imaging apparatus comprising:

• an imaging unit configured to scan a subject's eye using optical coherence tomography to generate image data;
• a first brightness profile generation unit configured to generate a first brightness profile along a first direction by integrating brightness values of the image data;
• a second brightness profile generation unit configured to process the first brightness profile to generate a second brightness profile;
• and
• a brightness correction unit configured to perform brightness correction of the image data based on the first brightness profile and the second brightness profile,
• wherein the image data is three-dimensional image data formed by arranging a plurality of B mode images in the first direction, wherein each of the plurality of B mode images lies along a second direction orthogonal to the first direction, and
• wherein the first brightness profile generation unit executes integration of the brightness values in the second direction.

An ophthalmic image processing apparatus comprising:

• a storage unit configured to store image data acquired through scanning a subject's eye using optical coherence tomography;
