Abstract
An object classification method includes: acquiring image data of an image including feature information indicating a feature of an object; and classifying the object included in the image, based on the feature information. The image data is acquired by causing a first image capture device to capture the image. The first image capture device includes: an image sensor; and a filter array that is arranged on an optical path of light that is incident on the image sensor and that includes translucent filters two-dimensionally arrayed along a plane that crosses the optical path, the translucent filters including two or more filters in which wavelength dependencies of light transmittances are different from each other, and light transmittance of each of the two or more filters having local maximum values in a plurality of wavelength ranges.
