Zusammenfassung:Provided is a method for calculating a scanning pattern of light and an optical scanning apparatus which are capable of obtaining a high-quality image without imposing constraints on the hardware. The method according to a first aspect includes the steps of: detecting a resonance frequency and an attenuation coefficient of an oscillation part of an optical fiber which guides light from a light source and irradiates an object with the light; and calculating a scanning pattern of the light, based on the detected resonance frequency and attenuation coefficient. The method according to a second aspect includes the steps of: detecting, using position data detected by a scanning position detector, a scanning pattern of light from an oscillation part of an optical fiber which guides the light from a light source and irradiates an object with the light; and calculating an approximation coefficient of temporal change in phase shift of the oscillation part included in the scanning pattern. The apparatus according to a first aspect includes: an optical fiber which guides light from a light source and irradiates an object with the light; a scanning part which drives an oscillation part oscillatably supported of the optical fiber; a detector which detects a resonance frequency of the oscillation part; a calculation part which determines an irradiation position of the light using a scanning pattern calculated based on the resonance frequency detected by the detector and the attenuation coefficient obtained in advance. The apparatus according to a second aspect includes: an optical fiber which guides light from a light source and irradiates an object with the light; a scanning part which drives an oscillation part oscillatably supported of the optical fiber; and a calculation part which calculates, using position data detected by a scanning position detector, an approximation coefficient of temporal change in phase shift of the oscillation part included in the scanning pattern.
