Image processing device, information generation device, and information generation method

Abstract

A correction information generation sectionemits measurement light having uniform intensity onto a polarized image acquisition sectionacquiring a polarized image. Further, on the basis of a measured polarized image acquired from the polarized image acquisition section, the correction information generation sectiongenerates variation correction information for correcting sensitivity variations caused in the measured polarized image due to difference in polarization direction, and causes a correction information storage sectionto store the generated variation correction information. A correction processing sectionthen corrects the sensitivity variations caused in the polarized image acquired by the polarized image acquisition sectiondue to the difference in polarization direction by using the pre-generated variation correction information stored in the correction information storage section. Therefore, the polarized image outputted from the correction processing sectionbecomes a high-quality polarized image with, for example, its sensitivity variations corrected.
