Abstract
The present invention relates to accurately determining a contour of a depolarizing region. An image processing apparatus extracts a depolarizing region in a polarization-sensitive tomographic image of a subject's eye, and detects, in a tomographic intensity image of the subject's eye, a region corresponding to the extracted depolarizing region. The tomographic intensity image corresponds to the polarization-sensitive tomographic image,
Claims18
An image processing apparatus comprising:
- an extracting unit configured to extract a depolarizing region in a polarization-sensitive tomographic image of a subject's eye;
- a detecting unit configured to detect, in a tomographic intensity image of the subject's eye, a region corresponding to the extracted depolarizing region, the tomographic intensity image corresponding to the polarization-sensitive tomographic image;
- a calculating unit configured to calculate a size of the detected region;
- and
- a display control unit configured to cause a display unit to display the detected region superimposed on the tomographic intensity image and to cause the display unit to display the calculated size in a state of associating the calculated size with the detected region.
