    Abstract: Ophthalmological mages generated by coherent imaging modalities have multiple types of noise, including random noise caused by the imaging system and speckle noise caused by turbid objects such as living tissues. These noises can occur at different levels in different locations. A noise-reduction method and system of the present disclosure thus relates to applying different filters for different types of noise and/or different locations of images, sequentially or in parallel and combined, to produce a final noise-reduced image.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for colorizing a point cloud comprising a set of point cloud data points associated with a particular object using a plurality of candidate images. For each respective data point in the set of point cloud data points, an image is selected, from a subset of the plurality of candidate images that include an un-occluded point of the particular object corresponding to the respective data point, that has a shortest subject distance to the un-occluded point of the particular object. The respective data point is colorized based on a color in the selected image of the un-occluded point of the particular object corresponding to the respective data point.

    Abstract: A new technique is provided to easily grasp the form of the fundus and the like of the eye to be examined being depicted in a tomographic image. An ophthalmic information processing device includes an image rotation circuit and a display control circuit. The image rotation circuit rotates a tomographic image of the eye to be examined acquired by using optical coherence tomography while making a measurement optical axis be eccentric relative to a predetermined site of the eye to be examined, in accordance with an eccentric amount and an eccentric direction of the measurement optical axis relative to the predetermined site. The display control circuit causes a display device to display the tomographic image rotated by the image rotation circuit.

    Abstract: When a camera and a surveying device are connected by a synchro cable, and a photographing condition obtaining unit obtains a photographing start time of the camera, a survey control unit makes a survey time measurement unit start time measurement. After the camera and the surveying device are disconnected, the survey control unit starts a survey by a predetermined surveying period ΔT when tracking of the prism starts. Based on the time measurement by the survey time measurement unit, the survey control unit associates the survey result with the photographing position of each image taken by the camera to generate the data for photogrammetry.
