<p>An image processor (101) according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention includes a polarized light source (102) and a polarization camera ( 103 ). In shooting an object (104), the object is irradiated with polarized light (105) that rotates its polarization plane. The polarized light is reflected from the object's surface and the polarized reflected light (106) reaches the polarization camera ( 103 ), thereby recording an image there. The polarization camera (103) includes a polarization image sensor (201), an intensity and polarization information processing section (202), a polarization plane control section (204), and an image capturing control section ( 205 ). By capturing an image every time the polarization plane control section (204) changes the polarization state of the polarized light, an intensity image Y and a polarization phase image P are obtained in association with each polarization state. Using these images, a resolution increasing processing section (203) generates a high-resolution normal image (208) and a high resolution intensity image (209).</p> |
