More Information
Summary:A captured image acquisition section acquires, from an imaging apparatus , data of a polarized image obtained by capturing a target object and stores the data into an image data storage section . A normal line distribution acquisition section of a region segmentation section acquires a distribution of normal line vectors of a subject surface using the polarized image. A region decision section evaluates the distribution of normal line vectors with a predetermined criterion indicating stability such as a dispersion and determines a region in which the stability is high as a region of a figure of a subject to segment the image. An output data generation section carries out various processes using a result of the segmentation to generate output data.
