Abstract
An image processing apparatus to measure a color of an object based on a measurement target image obtained by imaging the object includes an acquisition unit, a derivation unit, and a calculation unit. The acquisition unit acquires the measurement target image and a reference image different from the measurement target image. The derivation unit derives a reference color based on an imaging parameter used in imaging of the measurement target image, an imaging parameter used in imaging of the reference image, and a pixel value of at least one pixel in the reference image. The calculation unit calculates, with reference to the reference color, a color evaluation value of at least one pixel corresponding to the object in the measurement target image.
