IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a mechanism for accurately estimating a normal structure of a layer constituting an object.

SOLUTION: An image processing apparatus includes: a layer detection unit 221 for detecting a layer from a tomographic image of a fundus oculi of a subject's eye; a normal structure estimation unit 222 for obtaining a curve formed to project to the depth direction of the fundus based on the shape of the layer detected in the layer detection unit 221; and a quantifying unit 223 for quantifying a difference between the layer detected in the layer detection unit 221 and the curve obtained in the normal structure estimation unit 222.
