Abstract
An optical coherence tomography analysis apparatus includes: an acquisition unit that performs optical coherence tomography by applying a light beam, and that acquires three-dimensional luminance data about the skin; a position extraction unit that extracts an epidermis position, for each tomography image obtained by scanning in a fast axis direction of the light beam, in the three-dimensional luminance data about the skin; a connection unit that generates connected three-dimensional data, by adjusting relative positions between tomography images and connecting the tomography images, on the basis of an extraction result of the epidermis position; a flattening unit that generates flattened three-dimensional data, by performing transformation processing of flattening epidermis on the connected three-dimensional data, on the basis of an extraction result of the epidermis position; and a pattern extraction unit that extracts a pattern of the skin corresponding to a predetermined extraction depth, from the flattened three-dimensional data.
