Abstract
Provided is a polarization rendering setting unit that sets a plurality of parameters to be used for generating a polarized rendered image of an abnormality detection target. A polarized rendered image generation unit generates the polarized rendered image of the abnormality detection target on the basis of the parameters set by the polarization rendering setting unit. An abnormality detection unit detects an abnormal region of the abnormality detection target on the basis of a difference between a polarized captured image acquired by imaging the abnormality detection target and the polarized rendered image generated by the polarized rendered image generation unit. Abnormalities that are difficult to detect on the basis of luminance information and color information becomes able to be detected on the basis of polarized images.
