Abstract: An image processing method, which is executed by a processor, comprises acquiring choroid information from an image of a fundus of an examined eye, and comparing the choroid information against a choroid normative database and determining whether or not there is an abnormality in the fundus.

Abstract: An image processing method includes acquiring a first direction fundus image imaged in a state in which an examined eye is directed in a first direction, and a second direction fundus image imaged in a state in which the examined eye is directed in a second direction different to the first direction, generating a combined image for analyzing a fundus-peripheral portion of the examined eye by combining the first direction fundus image and the second direction fundus image, and outputting the combined image.

Abstract: A non perfusion area is detected from a fundus image. A fundus image is acquired, a first non perfusion area in a first region of the fundus is extracted from the fundus image, and a second non perfusion area in a second region of the fundus is extracted from the fundus image.

Abstract: An image processing method, which is executed by a processor, comprises acquiring a choroidal vascular image, identifying, in the choroidal vascular image, a plurality of blood vessel center points of a choroidal blood vessel along a flow direction of the choroidal blood vessel, and computing a blood vessel diameter for each of the plurality of identified blood vessel center points.

Abstract: There is provided an ocular image capturing device comprising an ocular image generating module operable to generate an image of a subject's eye based on light reflected from the eye, and a determination module arranged to determine whether or not at least a portion of a pupil region of the generated image is within a predetermined permissible region within the generated image, and to generate a signal that is indicative of the determination, the pupil region being an image of at least a portion of the pupil of the eye.

Abstract: An image is created to visualize the efficacy of treatment to a fundus. An image processing method includes extracting a first frame from a first moving image of an examined eye and extracting a second frame from a second moving image of the examined eye, and comparing the first frame against the second frame.

Abstract: A feature value related to a positional relationship between a vortex vein position and a characteristic point on a fundus image is computed. The image processing method provided includes a step of analyzing a choroidal vascular image and estimating a vortex vein position, and a step of computing a feature value indicating a positional relationship between the vortex vein position and a position of a particular site on a fundus.

Abstract: Data is computed in order to visualize the velocity of blood fluid flowing through a blood vessel at a fundus. An image processing method includes a step of performing registration of each frame in a moving image configured by plural frames of an imaged fundus, and a step of computing visualization data enabling visualization of a state of blood fluid flowing through a blood vessel at the fundus based on a pixel value in each of the registered frames.

Abstract: A first image is projective transformed into a reference image by using a projective transformation matrix on each pixel of the first image. A projective transformation matrix for transforming a tilted image n into a central image G0 is computed based on positions of combinations of twelve corresponding points indicated in a combination of the central image G0 with the tilted image n. The computed projective transformation matrix is then employed to perform a projective transformation of the tilted image n. A projective-transformed tilted image n1 is created thereby.

Abstract: In the present invention, vortex vein positions are detected from a fundus image. The image processing method comprising: a step in which a choroidal blood vessel structure is analyzed from a fundus image; and a step in which vortex vein positions are detected based on the choroidal blood vessel structure.

Abstract: An image processing method is provided. The image processing method includes: setting a first analysis point and a second analysis point on a fundus image so as to be symmetrical about a reference line; finding a first blood vessel running direction at the first analysis point and finding a second blood vessel running direction at the second analysis point; and comparing the first blood vessel running direction against the second blood vessel running direction.

Abstract: An image processing method comprising acquiring a first fundus image obtained by photographing a fundus using first light having a first wavelength, and a second fundus image obtained by photographing the fundus using second light having a second wavelength that is shorter than the first wavelength; specifying, in the first fundus image, respective positions of retinal blood vessels appearing in the second fundus image; and generating a choroidal blood vessel image by processing the positions identified in the first fundus image.

Abstract: Predicting a non perfusion area. An enhancement image processing section performs enhancement image processing on a fundus image of a subject eye to enhance vascular portions (304). A prediction processing section predicts a non perfusion area in the fundus image that has been subjected to the enhancement image processing (306 to 312). A generation section generates a non perfusion area candidate image (314).
