Abstract
Data of a captured image including a polarized image is acquired (S), and space information relating to a position and a posture of a subject in a real space and the position and the posture on an imaging plane is acquired using the captured image data (S). Next, a polarization degree distribution is acquired from a polarized image of a plurality of orientations (S), and a position of a light source is acquired by specifying an image of a true light source by threshold value determination of the polarization degree (S). A reflection characteristic is acquired by applying a rendering equation under assumption that luminance of the captured image is already known (S), and a material suitable therewith is specified as a material of the subject (S). Processing according to the material is performed to generate output data and output the data (S).
