Information processing apparatus, method for processing information, and program

Abstract

A polarization imaging unit 20 generates, as polarization information, a polarization image including pixels in a plurality of polarization directions. An interpolation processing unit 31 of an information processor 30 performs interpolation processing using the polarization image obtained from the polarization imaging unit 20, and generates a polarization image for each polarization method. A polarization degree calculation unit 32 calculates, for example, a polarization degree for each pixel as object surface information on the basis of the polarization image for each polarization method. A noise amount calculation unit 33 calculates a noise amount for each pixel on the basis of the polarization image for each polarization method and the like. A polarization degree correction unit 34 serves as an information correction unit, and corrects, according to the noise amount calculated by the noise amount calculation unit 33, the polarization degree that is object surface information calculated by the polarization degree calculation unit 32. The object surface information that is robust to noise can be obtained.
