UNEVENNESS DETECTING APPARATUS, METHOD, AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM

摘要

Provided is an unevenness detecting apparatus comprising a determining section that determines a polarization state of returned light obtained from radiated light; an uneven portion judging section that judges whether an uneven portion is present based on the polarization state determined by the determining section; a convex/concave identifying section that identifies whether the uneven portion is convex or concave based on image data, captured by an image capturing element, of the uneven portion; and an output section that outputs information identifying whether the uneven portion is convex or concave.
