Generation of dewarped oct b-scan images

Abstract

A method of generating a look-up table, LUT, for constructing a dewarped B-scan image from A-scans of a cropped part of a sequence of acquired OCT A-scans, the LUT associating each of a plurality of pixel arrays that are to form the dewarped B-scan image with a respective A-scan in the cropped part. The method comprises: using an indication of a spatial distribution of scan locations of A-scans to determine a dewarp function for selecting, from among acquired A-scans, A-scans having uniformly spaced scan locations; using the function and cropping information, in accordance with which the cropped part is cropped from the acquired sequence, to select, for each array, a respective A-scan from the sequence such that A-scans are selected from the cropped part and have uniformly spaced scan locations; and storing, for each array, a respective pixel array identifier in association with a respective identifier of the selected A-scan.
