Abstract
A captured image acquisition sectionacquires, from an imaging apparatus, data of a polarized image obtained by capturing a target object and stores the data into an image data storage section. A region extraction sectionof a target object recognition sectionextracts a region in which a figure of the target object is included in the polarized image. A normal line distribution acquisition sectionacquires a distribution of normal line vectors on a target object surface in regard to the extracted region. A model adjustment sectionadjusts a three-dimensional model of the target object stored in a model data storage sectionin a virtual three-dimensional space such that the three-dimensional model conforms to the distribution of the normal line vectors acquired from the polarized image to specify a state of the target object.
