Optical coherence tomography analysis apparatus, optical coherence tomography analysis method, and non-transitory recording medium

An optical coherence tomography analysis method that is executed by at least one computer, the optical coherence tomography analysis method comprising:

• performing optical coherence tomography by applying a light beam to a skin while performing two-dimensional scanning, and acquiring three-dimensional luminance data about the skin;
• extracting an epidermis position of the skin, for each tomography image obtained by scanning in a fast axis direction of the light beam, in the three-dimensional luminance data about the skin;
• generating connected three-dimensional data, by adjusting relative positions between tomography images and connecting the tomography images, on the basis of an extraction result of the epidermis position of the skin;
• generating flattened three-dimensional data, by performing transformation processing of flattening epidermis on the connected three-dimensional data, on the basis of an extraction result of the epidermis position of the skin;
• and
• extracting a pattern of the skin corresponding to a predetermined extraction depth, from the flattened three-dimensional data.

A non-transitory recording medium on which a computer program that allows at least one computer to execute an optical coherence tomography analysis method is recorded, the optical coherence tomography analysis method including:
