Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An imaging control apparatus which controls an imaging unit configured to capture a tomogram of the fundus of a target eye includes an acquisition unit configured to acquire information representing the direction of a fundus movement of the target eye, an analysis unit configured to analyze the direction of the fundus movement based on the information acquired by the acquisition unit, and a control unit configured to control the imaging unit so as to align the direction of imaging of the imaging unit with the direction of the fundus movement based on the analysis result of the analysis unit.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. An imaging apparatus comprising; a first imaging unit configured to perform imaging of a plurality of planar images of a target eye; a first determination unit configured to determine time intervals of specific movements of the target eye by analyzing the plurality of planar images; a second imaging unit configured to perform optical coherence tomography by scanning the target eye to form a tomogram of the target eye; and a second determination u…
