  • Patent number: 11961229
    Abstract: In this invention, a control unit in an ophthalmic image processing device acquires an ophthalmic image captured by an ophthalmic image capture device (S11). The control unit, by inputting the ophthalmic image into a mathematical model that has been trained by a machine-learning algorithm, acquires a probability distribution in which the random variables are the coordinates at which a specific site and/or a specific boundary of a tissue is present within a region of the ophthalmic image (S14). On the basis of the acquired probability distribution, the control unit detects the specific boundary and/or the specific site (S16, S24).
