Abstract
The image processing apparatus of the present invention is an image processing apparatus that generates gloss intensity distribution image data indicating a gloss intensity distribution based on captured image data obtained by capturing an image of a subject having concavity/convexity irradiated by a surface light source. The image processing apparatus sets an area, in which specularly reflected light from the surface light source enters a planar mirror and which is the same size as or smaller than that of an area captured by an image capturing apparatus in a case where the planar mirror is arranged at substantially the same position as that of the subject, as a measurement area of the gloss intensity distribution based on surface light source position information indicating the position of the surface light source and image capturing position information indicating the position of the image capturing apparatus that captures an image of the subject. Further, based on the surface light source position information, the image capturing position information, and pixel values of the captured image data, the gloss intensity distribution image data in the measurement area is generated.
