Abstract
A diagnosis assisting apparatus includes a display, an imaging unit configured to image a subject, a line of sight detecting unit configured to detect a line of sight direction of the subject from a picked-up image imaged by the imaging unit, a point of view detecting unit configured to detect a point of view of the subject in a display region of the display based on the line of sight direction, and an output controller configured to display a diagnostic image including a natural image and a geometrical image, and the point of view detecting unit detects the point of view of the subject in a case where the diagnostic image is displayed.
Claims2
A diagnosis assisting apparatus comprising:
- a display;
- an imaging unit configured to image a subject using a camera;
- a line of sight detecting unit configured to detect, by calculation by a controller, a line of sight direction of the subject from a picked-up image imaged by the imaging unit;
- a point of view detecting unit configured to detect, by calculation by the controller, a point of view of the subject in a display region of the display based on the line of sight direction;
- and
- an output controller configured to output by the controller and sequentially display a plurality of images different from each other, which is used to correct a detected point of view detected by the point of view detecting unit, at different positions from each other on the display, each of the plurality of images being surrounded by a frame, wherein
- the output controller is configured to
- display the frame in which one of the plurality of images is to be displayed, and
- after displaying the frame in the display, display the one of the plurality of images in the display in such a manner that the one of the plurality of images moves from outside of the frame toward inside of the frame.
A method for assisting diagnosis comprising:
- detecting, by calculation by a controller, a line of sight direction of a subject from a picked-up image imaged by an imaging unit using a camera for imaging the subject;
- detecting, by calculation by the controller, a point of view of the subject in a display region on a display based on the line of sight direction;
- and
- outputting by the controller and sequentially displaying a plurality of images different from each other, which is used to correct a detected point of view detected by the point of view detecting step, at different positions from each other on the display, each of the plurality of images being surrounded by a frame, wherein
- the outputting and sequentially displaying the plurality of images includes
- displaying the frame in which one of the plurality of images is to be displayed, and
- after displaying the frame in the display, displaying the one of the plurality of images in the display in such a manner that the one of the plurality of images moves from outside of the frame toward inside of the frame.
