OPTICAL STRUCTURE OBSERVING APPARATUS, STRUCTURE INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD THEREOF, AND ENDOSCOPE APPARATUS INCLUDING OPTICAL STRUCTURE OBSERVATION APPARATUS

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To three-dimensionally analyze the structure inside a measured object having a layer structure such as biological tissue. SOLUTION: A processing part 22 includes: an optical structure information detection part 220; an optical stereoscopic structure image construction part 221; an intermediate layer extraction part 222 as an intermediate layer extracting means; a flattening processing part 223 as a layer flattening means; an optical stereoscopic structure image conversion part 224 as a structure image converting means; a parallel region setting part 225 as a parallel region setting means; a region characteristic information calculation part 226 as a region characteristic information calculating means; a parallel cross-sectional image generation part 227 as a parallel cross-sectional image generation means; a canceration level determination part 228 as an image analysis means; a stereoscopic characteristic image generation part 229 as a stereoscopic characteristic image generating means; a display control part 230; and an interface part 231.
