Abstract
An imaging control apparatus which controls an imaging unit configured to capture a tomogram of the fundus of a target eye includes an acquisition unit configured to acquire information representing the direction of a fundus movement of the target eye, an analysis unit configured to analyze the direction of the fundus movement based on the information acquired by the acquisition unit, and a control unit configured to control the imaging unit so as to align the direction of imaging of the imaging unit with the direction of the fundus movement based on the analysis result of the analysis unit.
Claims18
An imaging control apparatus which controls an imaging unit adapted to scan a fundus of a target eye to capture a tomogram of the fundus, comprising:
- an acquisition unit adapted to acquire information indicating a movement of the fundus which moves in a plurality of directions in a predetermined time interval;
- an analysis unit adapted to analyze the information acquired by said acquisition unit, and acquire a direction representing the plurality of directions based on a magnitude of each directional component of the movement of the fundus;
- and
- a control unit adapted to control the imaging unit so as to align a direction of main scan of the imaging unit with the direction acquired based on an analysis result of said analysis unit.
An imaging control method of an imaging control apparatus which controls an imaging unit adapted to scan a fundus of a target eye to capture a tomogram of the fundus, comprising:
- an acquisition step of acquiring information indicating a movement of the fundus which moves in a plurality of directions in a predetermined time interval;
- an analysis step of analyzing the information acquired in the acquisition step, and acquiring a direction representing the plurality of directions based on a magnitude of each directional component of the movement of the fundus;
- and
- a control step of controlling the imaging unit so as to align a direction of main scan of the imaging unit with the direction acquired based on an analysis result in the analysis step.
