PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To generate an image easy to read, by facilitating mapping the front-face image of a subject to a three-dimensional OCT tomographic image of a subject.SOLUTION: Image processing is performed by a tomographic image acquisition process which acquires a three-dimensional tomographic image of a subject generated by using an interference signal obtained by interference between a return light of the subject irradiated with measurement light and reference light corresponding to the measurement light a front face image acquisition process for acquiring a front face image of the subject an information acquisition process for acquiring shape information of a boundary surface corresponding to the front face image in the three-dimensional tomographic image and a deformation process for deforming the front face image to a stereoscopic image by using the acquired shape information.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4COPYRIGHT: (C)2018,JPO&INPIT【課題】被検体の三次元OCT断層像に対して被検体の正面像を対応付けることを容易にし、読影が容易な画像を生成する【解決手段】測定光を照射した被検体の戻り光と測定光に対応する参照光とを干渉して得た干渉信号セットを用いて生成される被検体の三次元断層像を取得する断層像取得工程と、被検体の正面像を取得する正面像取得工程と、三次元断層像において正面像と対応する境界面の形状情報を取得する情報取得工程と、取得された形状情報を用いて正面像を立体像に変形する変形工程と、より画像処理を行う。【選択図】 図4
