Classification: CPC G  A | IPC A  G

Claim 0:
1. An image processing apparatus comprising at least one of (a) one or more processors connected to one or more memories storing a program including instructions executed by the one or more processors and (b) circuitry, each of (a) and (b) configured to function as:
an obtaining unit configured to obtain a first tomographic image of an eye to be examined obtained by using optical coherence; and
an image quality improving unit configured to generate, using the obtained first tomographic image as input data that is input into a learned model, a second tomographic image having a plurality of regions including a region of a retina and a region of a vitreous body with contrast higher than contrast of the plurality of regions in the obtained first tomographic image, the learned model being obtained by using training data including a third tomographic image of an eye to be examined obtained by using optical coherence that has at least one of a plurality of regions including a region of a retina and a region of a vitreous body and a fourth tomographic image that has the at least one of the plurality of regions with contrast higher than contrast of the at least one of the plurality of regions in the third tomographic image, and training data including a fifth tomographic image of an eye to be examined obtained by using optical coherence that has at least the other one of the plurality of regions and a sixth tomographic image that has at least the other one of the plurality of regions with contrast higher than contrast of at least the other one of the plurality of regions in the fifth tomographic image.
