Abstract
A data processing method that is suitable for obtaining quantitative information from data obtained by OCT imaging. The image processing method includes acquiring original image data corresponding to a three-dimensional image of a cultured embryo obtained by optical coherence tomography imaging of the embryo and executing a region segmentation the three-dimensional image into a plurality of regions on the basis of the original image data. In the region segmentation, a local thickness calculation is performed on the three-dimensional image to determine an index value indicating a size of an object included in the three-dimensional image, the three-dimensional image is segmented into a region indicated by the index value greater than a predetermined first threshold and a region indicated by the index value less than the first threshold, and each of the regions resulting from the segmentation is further segmented by the watershed algorithm.
