Diagnosis assisting apparatus and method for assisting diagnosis
A diagnosis assisting apparatus includes a display, an imaging unit configured to image a subject, a line of sight detecting unit configured to detect a line of sight direction of the subject from a picked-up image imaged by the imaging unit, a point of view detecting unit configured to detect a point of view of the subject in a display region of the display based on the line of sight direction, and an output controller configured to display a diagnostic image including a natural image and a geometrical image, and the point of view detecting unit detects the point of view of the subject in a case where the diagnostic image is displayed.
1. A diagnosis assisting apparatus comprising:
a display;
an imaging unit configured to image a subject using a camera;
a line of sight detecting unit configured to detect, by calculation by a controller, a line of sight direction of the subject from a picked-up image imaged by the imaging unit;
a point of view detecting unit configured to detect, by calculation by the controller, a point of view of the subject in a display region of the display based on the line of sight direction; and
an output controller configured to output by the controller and sequentially display a plurality of images different from each other, which is used to correct a detected point of view detected by the point of view detecting unit, at different positions from each other on the display, each of the plurality of images being surrounded by a frame, wherein
the output controller is configured to
display the frame in which one of the plurality of images is to be displayed, and
after displaying the frame in the display, display the one of the plurality of images in the display in such a manner that the one of the plurality of images moves from outside of the frame toward inside of the frame.
2. A method for assisting diagnosis comprising:
detecting, by calculation by a controller, a line of sight direction of a subject from a picked-up image imaged by an imaging unit using a camera for imaging the subject;
detecting, by calculation by the controller, a point of view of the subject in a display region on a display based on the line of sight direction; and
outputting by the controller and sequentially displaying a plurality of images different from each other, which is used to correct a detected point of view detected by the point of view detecting step, at different positions from each other on the display, each of the plurality of images being surrounded by a frame, wherein
the outputting and sequentially displaying the plurality of images includes
displaying the frame in which one of the plurality of images is to be displayed, and
after displaying the frame in the display, displaying the one of the plurality of images in the display in such a manner that the one of the plurality of images moves from outside of the frame toward inside of the frame.
