Abstract
An information processing apparatus includes an imaging apparatus that irradiates reference light in a predetermined wavelength band to a subject and captures reflection of the reference light from the subject to acquire data of captured images including a polarized image in multiple bearings (S). Based on the polarized image, the imaging apparatus acquires a polarization degree image representing a distribution of polarization degrees (S). The imaging apparatus extracts a region whose polarization degree falls within a predetermined range of polarization degrees as an image of the subject having a predetermined material (S). The imaging apparatus performs relevant processing on the subject image to generate output data and outputs the generated data (S).
