FUNDUS IMAGING APPARATUS AND METHOD OF PRODUCING COMPOSITE IMAGE COMPOSED OF FUNDUS IMAGES

A fundus imaging apparatus includes an imaging optical system that irradiates a fundus of a subject eye with illumination light and captures a fundus image based on return light of the illumination light from the fundus, a control unit that continuously captures a plurality of fundus images based on an imaging trigger, and an image processing unit that produces a composite image composed of a plurality of fundus images obtained by the continuous imaging. The control unit sequentially acquires evaluation information used as an evaluation index of a state of the subject eye during the continuous imaging, and determines whether or not to stop the continuous imaging based on the evaluation information.
