Abstract
An embodiment is a method of processing an optical coherence tomography (OCT) image. The method is configured to acquire a plurality of images by applying a plurality of OCT scans corresponding to a plurality of different polarization conditions to a sample, and then generate a mean image with a reduced birefringence-derived artifact by applying averaging to the plurality of images corresponding to the plurality of different polarization conditions.
Claims10
A method of processing an optical coherence tomography (OCT) image, the method comprising:
- acquiring a plurality of images by applying a plurality of OCT scans corresponding to a plurality of different polarization conditions to a sample;
- and
- generating a mean image with a reduced birefringence-derived artifact by applying averaging to the plurality of images corresponding to the plurality of different polarization conditions.
An apparatus of processing an optical coherence tomography (OCT) image, the apparatus comprising:
- an image acquiring unit including an OCT scanner and configured to acquire a plurality of images generated by applying a plurality of OCT scans corresponding to a plurality of different polarization conditions to a sample;
- and
- a processor configured to generate a mean image with a reduced birefringence-derived artifact by applying averaging to the plurality of images corresponding to the plurality of different polarization conditions.
A computer-readable non-transitory recording medium in which a program for processing an optical coherence tomography (OCT) image is recorded, wherein the program causes a computer to perform:
- acquiring a plurality of images generated by applying a plurality of OCT scans corresponding to a plurality of different polarization conditions to a sample;
- and
- generating a mean image with a reduced birefringence-derived artifact by applying averaging to the plurality of images corresponding to the plurality of different polarization conditions.
