Abstract
The present technology relates to an image processing device, a method of image processing, and a surgical microscope that can detect and report a dangerous condition on the basis of a tomographic image during eye surgery. An image processing device includes: a dangerous condition detection unit configured to detect a dangerous condition on the basis of a tomographic image of an eye acquired during surgery of the eye; and a control information generation unit configured to generate and output control information used to manage the detected dangerous condition. The present technology is applicable to, for example, a surgical system used for eye surgery or other surgical procedures.
Claims23
An image processing device comprising:
- a dangerous condition detection unit configured to detect a dangerous condition on the basis of a tomographic image of an eye acquired during surgery of the eye;
- and
- a control information generation unit configured to generate and output control information used to manage the detected dangerous condition.
A method of image processing, the method comprising the steps of:
- detecting, by an image processing device, a dangerous condition on the basis of a tomographic image of an eye acquired during surgery of the eye;
- and
- generating and outputting, by the image processing device, control information used to manage the detected dangerous condition.
A surgical microscope comprising:
- a tomographic image capturing unit configured to capture a tomographic image of an eye as a target of surgery;
- a dangerous condition detection unit configured to detect a dangerous condition on the basis of the tomographic image of the eye acquired during surgery;
- and
- a control information generation unit configured to generate and output control information used to manage the detected dangerous condition.
