Abstract

A shading correction device includes a reference acquirer that acquires a reference pixel value W in a captured image of a color measurement reference object, a target pixel value acquirer that acquires a pixel value S in a captured image of a measurement target, a bit shift value acquirer that acquires a bit shift value k2 based on the reference pixel value W, a lookup table storing a variable G(=2/W>>k2) corresponding to W>>k2, and a calculator that reads the variable Gcorresponding to the reference pixel value W and the bit shift value k2 from the lookup table and calculates a shading correction value Rof each pixel in the captured image of the measurement target using Expression (5): and A, B and k1 are integer constants.
