Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 9:
10. The information processing apparatus according to claim 4, wherein
the polarized image includes an unpolarized normal pixel,
the reference image information includes information indicating an unpolarized reference intensity value that is an intensity value of a reference normal pixel of each color,
the difference information includes information indicating a difference between an intensity value of a normal pixel different from the reference normal pixel and an unpolarized reference intensity value of a same color and includes information indicating a difference between an intensity value of a designated polarization pixel in a pixel block, which includes the designated polarization pixel with a polarization direction designated in advance from combinations of normal pixels different from the reference normal pixels and polarization pixels with polarization directions that allow to calculate an average intensity value, and a predicted value of a same polarization direction, and
the predicted value is calculated for each polarization direction based on a ratio indicating intensity values of the normal pixel different from the reference normal pixel and an intensity value of the designated polarization pixel in a pixel block adjacent to the pixel block.
