    Abstract: A captured image acquisition section 50 acquires, from an imaging apparatus 12, data of a polarized image obtained by capturing a target object and stores the data into an image data storage section 52. A region extraction section 60 of a target object recognition section 54 extracts a region in which a figure of the target object is included in the polarized image. A normal line distribution acquisition section 62 acquires a distribution of normal line vectors on a target object surface in regard to the extracted region. A model adjustment section 66 adjusts a three-dimensional model of the target object stored in a model data storage section 64 in a virtual three-dimensional space such that the three-dimensional model conforms to the distribution of the normal line vectors acquired from the polarized image to specify a state of the target object.

    Abstract: A sample image obtaining section repetitively obtains a sample image generated by photographing a given sample by a photographing unit. A feature quantity extracting section generates feature quantity data corresponding to the sample image, in reference to the sample image. The feature quantity extracting section classifies each of a plurality of pieces of feature quantity data into either training data or evaluation data. An evaluation learning section performs learning of an evaluation discriminator by using a plurality of pieces of the training data. A photographing necessity/unnecessity determining section determines necessity/unnecessity of additional photographing of the sample by using the evaluation discriminator in which the learning using the plurality of pieces of the training data has already been performed and a plurality of pieces of the evaluation data. A notifying section gives a notification regarding a result of the determination of the necessity/unnecessity of additional photographing of the sample.

    Abstract: Data of a captured image including a polarized image is acquired (S10), and space information relating to a position and a posture of a subject in a real space and the position and the posture on an imaging plane is acquired using the captured image data (S12). Next, a polarization degree distribution is acquired from a polarized image of a plurality of orientations (S14), and a position of a light source is acquired by specifying an image of a true light source by threshold value determination of the polarization degree (S16). A reflection characteristic is acquired by applying a rendering equation under assumption that luminance of the captured image is already known (S18), and a material suitable therewith is specified as a material of the subject (S20). Processing according to the material is performed to generate output data and output the data (S22).

    Abstract: A point-of-interest information acquisition section of an information processing apparatus acquires, by using a polarization image captured from a viewpoint of an imaging apparatus, an incident plane relative to the viewpoint at a point of interest ‘a’ on a subject. A viewpoint control section determines a direction of movement of the imaging apparatus in such a manner as to suitably acquire an angle formed with the incident plane and presents the direction to a user. When the post-movement viewpoint of an imaging apparatus is determined to be appropriate, an incident plane at the point of interest ‘a’ is acquired by using the captured polarization image, and a line of intersection with the incident plane is assumed to be a normal vector n of the point of interest ‘a.’
