According to one embodiment, an image processing apparatus includes a buffer and processing circuitry. The buffer stores first and second images capturing an object. The circuitry calculates at least one of a first distance to the object in the first image and a second distance to the object in the second image by using a correction parameter for correcting at least one of influences caused by ambient light, a reflection characteristic of the object, or a color of the object, calculates three-dimensional coordinates of the object on a relative scale by using the first and second images, and calculates three-dimensional coordinates of the object on a real scale based on at least one of the first and second distances, and the three-dimensional coordinates of the object on the relative scale.

Provided are an imaging apparatus and an imaging method that make it possible to apply light having an optimum wavelength to capture an image without a user taking heed of a type of an imaging object. A wavelength of light optimum for analysis of a target is specified as an effective wavelength from a multispectral image of the target on which white light is applied, and light of the effective wavelength is applied upon the target. The target in this state is captured as a multispectral image, and the target is analyzed on a basis of a spectral image of an effective wavelength.

An imaging apparatus includes a filter configured to transmit light and an image sensor configured to generate an image according to the light. The filter includes first to fourth filter regions. The first filter region transmits light of a first wavelength region, and does not transmit light of a second wavelength region. The second filter region does not transmit the light of the first wavelength region and transmits the light of the second wavelength region. The third, filter region does not transmit the light of the first, wavelength region and does not transmit the light of the second wavelength region. The fourth filter region transmits the light of the first wavelength region and transmits the light of the second wavelength region.

An image capturing apparatus includes a sensor controller and a distance calculator. The sensor controller acquires a target image and a first reference image. The point spread function (PSF) of the target image is point-asymmetric, and the PSF of the first reference image being point-symmetric. The image sensor receives light having passed through a filter region that changes PSFs for sensor images of at least one kind into point-asymmetric forms, and then generates the target image for which a PSF has been changed into a point-asymmetric form by the filter region, and the first reference image that is not the target image. The distance calculator calculates the distance to an object captured in the target image and the first reference image, in accordance with the correlations each between an image obtained by convoluting a blur kernel to the target images and the first reference image.

The first shape of the object is contained in a first component image of one image. The second shape of the object is contained in a second component image of the one image. The one or more processors calculate a distance between an imaging device and the object based on an image distance when the one image is captured and the blur correction information. The image distance is a distance from a lens up to an image forming surface of the object.
