Abstract: An information processing device that reconstructs an original image including an interference fringe image of an object to be observed includes at least one processor. The processor acquires the original image, generates a reconstructed image while changing a reconstruction position from an initial position based on the original image, calculates sharpness of the reconstructed image each time the reconstructed image is generated and detects an in-focus position where the calculated sharpness is maximized, records the in-focus position, decides the initial position in a next reconstruction processing based on the in-focus position, and repeats the original image acquisition every one imaging cycle.

Abstract: There are provided an acoustic wave image generating apparatus for generating a B-mode image having a fixed brightness and a control method thereof. First brightness information (81) indicating the brightness of a first B-mode image in the depth direction of the subject is generated. Positional deviation correction is performed on an acoustic wave echo signal having a positional deviation between the focusing position of acoustic waves and the observation target position, and second brightness information (82) indicating the brightness in the depth direction of the subject is generated from a superposition signal obtained by superimposing an acoustic wave echo signal for which the positional deviation has been corrected and an acoustic wave echo signal without positional deviation. The brightness of the first B-mode image is corrected based on the first brightness information and the second brightness information.
