Patent number: 9456745Abstract: In a fundus observation apparatus, an optical system detects interference light generated by superposing signal light having traveled by way of an eye fundus and reference light having traveled by way of a reference optical path. An image forming part forms a cross sectional image based on detection results of the interference light. A specifying part analyzes the cross sectional image to specify an abnormal region located in the vicinity of central fovea of the eye fundus. The association information generating part calculates the distance between the central fovea and the abnormal region and generates association information in which the direction of the abnormal region relative to the central fovea and the distance are associated with each other. The evaluation information generating part generates evaluation information for evaluating the state of the eye fundus based on the association information.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 2013Date of Patent: October 4, 2016Assignees: KYOTO UNIVERSITY, KABUSHIKI KAISHA TOPCONInventors: Akiko Matsumoto, Yugo Kimura, Masanori Hangai, Nagahisa Yoshimura, Tsutomu Kikawa, Akihiko Sekine
