Claim 6:
7. The image processing apparatus according to claim 4, wherein
the reference image information includes information indicating a reference average intensity value calculated for each color by using intensity values of reference polarization pixels with a plurality of polarization directions,
the difference information includes information indicating a difference between an average intensity value, which is calculated for each color by using intensity values of polarization pixels with a plurality of polarization directions different from the reference polarization pixels, and the reference average intensity value of a same color and includes information indicating a difference between each of the intensity values of the polarization pixels with the plurality of polarization directions different from the reference polarization pixels and a predicted value of a same polarization direction, and
the predicted value is calculated for each polarization direction based on the average intensity value calculated in a pixel block of the polarization pixels different from the reference polarization pixels and based on a ratio indicating intensity values of each polarization pixel in a pixel block adjacent to the pixel block.
