Abstract
In order to provide a more preferable white balance adjustment, an image processing apparatus obtains an input image, determines a representative point in the input image and a white balance coefficient of the representative point, obtains first information representing the inclination of a surface that includes the representative point and second information representing the inclination of a surface that includes a pixel of interest in the input image, and adjusts white balance of the pixel of interest based on the first information, the second information, and the white balance coefficient.
