Abstract: Provided an image processing device (13) including an image input unit (13b) that receives an operative field image; a display image generation unit (13f) that superimposes a first guide guiding a user to a motion of a surgery start instruction on the operative field image to generate a display image; and a processing start unit (13g) that starts surgery start-time processing when having detected the surgery start instruction within the first guide.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus (13) according to one form of the present disclosure includes: an image input unit (13b) that receives an operative field image for an eye of a patient; an eyeball tracking unit (13e) that tracks an eyeball in the operative field image; and a display image generation unit (13f) that sets a plurality of regions having different display modes for the operative field image and generates a display image in which an annular or radial boundary in the plurality of regions indicates a specific position or a specific size with respect to the eye. The display image generation unit (13f) changes a position or a size of the boundary on the basis of a tracking result of the eyeball and generates the display image.

Abstract: An image processing device (13) according to one aspect of the present disclosure includes: an image input unit (13a) that receives a surgical field image with respect to a patient's eye; an eyeball tracking unit (13b) as an example of a part detection unit that detects a specific part of the eye in the surgical field image; and a display image generation unit (13c) that generates a display image including a first position indicator indicating a position a predetermined distance away in a specific direction from the specific part detected by the eyeball tracking unit (13b).

Abstract: Provided is an in vivo movement tracking apparatus configured to track a portion of interest that moves in vivo, in which accuracy and robustness of tracking are improved. The apparatus is configured to determine an estimated position of ah organ in a biological image based on the past movement of the organ and search for contour points corresponding to a plurality of control points, respectively, representing a contour shape of the organ in a region corresponding to the estimated position, to thereby determine an estimated contour of the organ based on the contour points. The in vivo movement tracking apparatus is configured to determine a position of a portion of interest, which moves in association with the organ, based on the estimated contour with reference to previously acquired sample data regarding a positional relationship between a contour of the organ and the portion of interest.
