IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD FOR POLARIZATION-SENSITIVE OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY

摘要

The present invention relates to accurately determining a contour (range) of a depolarizing region. An image processing apparatus extracts a depolarizing region in a polarization-sensitive tomographic image of a subject's eye, and detects, in a tomographic intensity image of the subject's eye, a region corresponding to the extracted depolarizing region. The tomographic intensity image corresponds to the polarization-sensitive tomographic image.
