Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An image processing apparatus includes an identification unit configured to identify periodicity of a fundus image obtained by capturing an image of a fundus of an eye, and an information acquisition unit configured to acquire information indicating an imaging state of photoreceptor cells in the fundus image based on the periodicity.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An image processing apparatus comprising: an identification unit configured to obtain a frequency image by performing frequency conversion of a fundus image obtained by capturing an image of a fundus of an eye; and an information acquisition unit configured to acquire information indicating an image quality of the fundus image by calculating values of the equidistance from a predetermined position of the frequency image. 2. The image…
