Abstract:
1. An image processing apparatus comprising: acquisition means for acquiring object spectral data depending on a photographing environment of a photographed object, with respect to each pixel of the photographed object, photographing environment spectral data of the photographing environment, and observation environment spectral data of an observation environment in which an image output from image output means for outputting an image is to be observed; calculating means for calculating environment conversion data using an item of the photographing environment spectral data and an item of the observation environment spectral data, without regard to a number of pixels of the photographed object; and conversion means for converting the object spectral data of the each pixel acquired by said acquisition means into observation object spectra data depending on the observation environment, by multiplying the object spectral data of the each pixel acquired by said acquisition means by the environment conversion data calculated by said calculating means.
