Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An image processing device includes a first identification unit configured to identify the spatial configuration of a vessel in an object to be imaged, a second identification unit configured to identify information on a blood flow rate of the vessel based on an SLO moving image obtained by signal light that has a focus position deeper than at least a part of the area of the vessel, and an acquisition unit configured to acquire information on a blood flow of the vessel based on the identified area and the information on the blood flow rate.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An image processing device comprising: a first identification unit configured to identify the spatial configuration of a vessel in an object to be imaged from a first SLO image obtained by signal light that has a first focus position; and a second identification unit configured to identify information on a blood flow in at least a part of the identified vessel based on a second SLO moving image obtained by the signal light that has a second focus position…
