Abstract: To make it possible to improve user convenience, provided is a control device including: a control unit configured to control a position and an attitude of a microscope unit by driving an arm unit that supports the microscope unit on the basis of a captured image of an operating site photographed by the microscope unit during an operation so that a position and attitude condition set before the operation is satisfied. The position and attitude condition is a condition that prescribes a position and an attitude of the microscope unit with respect to the operating site to obtain a desired captured image corresponding to the position and attitude condition.

Abstract: The present technology relates to a surgical system, an image processing device, and an image processing method capable of obtaining the posture of an eye more firmly and with a high degree of accuracy. An image information acquisition unit acquires a tomographic image that is a cross-sectional image taken in a direction substantially parallel to an eye axis direction of an eye of a patient. An image recognition unit recognizes each part of the eye on the tomographic image by means of image recognition on the basis of the tomographic image. The control unit calculates the posture of the eye on the basis of the result of recognition of each part of the eye. In this way, by recognizing each part of the eye on the basis of the tomographic image and calculating the posture of the eye on the basis of the result of recognition, the posture of the eye can be obtained more firmly and with a high degree of accuracy. The present technology can be applied to a surgical system.

Abstract: [Object] To provide an information processing apparatus that is capable of presenting navigation information for ophthalmic surgery at high speed and with high precision. [Solving Means] An information processing apparatus according to the present technology includes a magnification acquisition unit and an image generation unit. The magnification acquisition unit acquires a magnification of a target image with respect to a reference image, the reference image being an image of an eye to be treated, the target image being an image of the eye picked up at a time different from an imaging time of the reference image. The image generation unit generates a navigation image including navigation information for guiding treatment of the eye on the basis of the magnification acquired by the magnification acquisition unit.
