Abstract
An image processing apparatus includes at least one processor, and a memory coupled to the at least one processor, the memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, perform operations as a first acquiring unit, a second acquiring unit, a setting unit, and a third acquiring unit. The first acquiring unit is configured to acquire a first image generated by imaging an object via a polarizing element configured to transmit lights having a plurality of polarization azimuths different from each other. The second acquiring unit is configured to acquire information on an imaging condition in the imaging. The setting unit is configured to set information on a polarization azimuth in the first image according to the information on the imaging condition. The third acquiring unit is configured to acquire polarization information from the first image using the information on the polarization azimuth.
