Abstract
A correction unit corrects parameters of an ensemble learner having a plurality of weak learners that receive characteristic amounts extracted from an input image and output weak hypotheses indicating whether or not a predetermined target is reflected in the input image using correction information. A discrimination processing unit integrates the weak hypotheses output from the weak learners with respect to the characteristic amounts using the ensemble learner of which the parameters are corrected and discriminates whether or not the target is reflected in the input image based on an integrated value of the weak hypotheses. The correction information is calculated based on a light source illuminating the target in a correction information calculation unit. The present technology may be applied, for example, to a case of discriminating whether or not the target is reflected in the input image, and so forth.
