EYE PORTION DIAGNOSIS SUPPORT APPARATUS, METHOD THEREFOR, PROGRAM, AND RECORDING MEDIUM
First Claim
1. A diagnosis support apparatus comprising:
- a wide-area image acquisition unit adapted to acquire a wide-area image of an eye portion;
a detection unit adapted to detect a lesion candidate on the eye portion by analyzing the wide-area image acquired by said wide-area image acquisition unit;
a determination unit adapted to determine parameter associated with acquisition of a tomogram of the eye portion, based on a lesion candidate detection result obtained by said detection unit; and
a tomogram acquisition unit adapted to acquire a tomogram of the eye portion based on the parameter determined by said determination unit.

Abstract
There is provided a technique for efficiently acquiring a tomogram of an eye portion. A diagnosis support apparatus includes a wide-area image acquisition means for acquiring a wide-area image of an eye portion, a detection means for detecting a lesion candidate on the eye portion by analyzing the wide-area image acquired by the wide-area image acquisition means, a determination means for determining a parameter associated with acquisition of a tomogram of the eye portion, based on a lesion candidate detection result obtained by the detection means, and a tomogram acquisition means for acquiring a tomogram of the eye portion based on the parameter determined by the determination means.
