Abstract

A polarized imaging unit 20 captures time-series polarized images of an object. A polarization information calculating unit 30 calculates polarization information for each polarized image from the time-series polarized images captured by the polarized imaging unit 20. An object specifying unit 50 specifies the image region of the object on the basis of, for example, a non-polarized image generated by a non-polarized image generating unit 40 on the basis of the polarized image. A state-change detecting unit 60 detects a state change of the object on the basis of a time series change of the polarization information in the image region of the object specified by the object specifying unit 50. An output unit 70 outputs the detection result of a state change such that the detection result is associated with the non-polarized image generated by the non-polarized image generating unit 40, the detection result being obtained by the state-change detecting unit 60. A state change of the object can be easily detected.
