Abstract
There is provided an information processing apparatus to make it possible to dynamically change the blinking pattern of the light source according to the imaging result, the information processing apparatus including: a light source control unit configured to control each of light sources constituting a plurality of light sources that irradiate an eye with light; and an image acquisition unit configured to acquire a captured image of the eye including a bright spot that is a reflection point of the light. The light source control unit controls blinking of each of the light sources on a basis of the captured image of the eye.
Claims16
An information processing apparatus comprising:
- a light source control unit configured to control each of light sources constituting a plurality of light sources that irradiate an eye with light;
- and
- an image acquisition unit configured to acquire a current frame of a captured image of the eye including a bright spot that is a reflection point of the light,
- wherein the light source control unit controls blinking of each of the light sources on a basis of imaging processing performed on the current frame of the captured image of the eye,
- wherein the light source control unit controls the blinking of each of the light sources on a basis of bright spot light source correspondence information in which the captured bright spot and each of the light sources are associated with each other and imaging analysis information that is information regarding an imaging result of the eye,
- wherein the light source control unit determines a light source to be in an on state in a next frame in which imaging processing is performed after the imaging processing is performed on the current frame, on a basis of the bright spot light source correspondence information and the imaging analysis information obtained before imaging the current frame, and p1 wherein the light source control unit and the image acquisition unit are each implemented via at least one processor.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having embodied thereon a program, which when executed by a computer causes the computer to execute a method, the method comprising:
- controlling each of light sources constituting a plurality of light sources that irradiate an eye with light;
- acquiring a current frame of a captured image of the eye including a bright spot that is a reflection point of the light;
- controlling blinking of each of the light sources on a basis of imaging processing performed on the current frame of the captured image of the eye,
- wherein the controlling of the blinking of each of the light sources is based on bright spot light source correspondence information in which the captured bright spot and each of the light sources are associated with each other and imaging analysis information that is information regarding an imaging result of the eye;
- and
- determining a light source to be in an on state in a next frame in which imaging processing is performed after the imaging processing is performed on the current frame, on a basis of the bright spot light source correspondence information and the imaging analysis information obtained before imaging the current frame.
