Abstract: There is provided an image processing apparatus and method capable of suppressing an increase in a processing time for image clustering. Sparse pixels included in an image are clustered, sparse information obtained by this clustering is interpolated by image filtering that uses an image signal as a guide, and thereby a dense clustering result is derived. For example, the sparse information is model coefficients or a clustering result obtained by the clustering. The present disclosure can be applied to, for example, an image processing apparatus, an image processing method, and the like.

Abstract: An information generation unit 30 acquires, from a polarization imaging unit 20, observation values in which polarization directions are at least three or more directions (m?3). A noise amount calculation unit 35-1 calculates an amount of noise on the basis of an observation value in a first polarization direction. Similarly, noise amount calculation units 35-2 to 35-m calculate amounts of noise on the basis of observation values in second to m-th polarization directions. A polarization model estimation unit 36 estimates a polarization model by using the observation values for the respective polarization directions and the amounts of noise calculated by the noise amount calculation units 35-1 to 35-m. Thus, it is possible to calculate a polarization model that is robust against noise.
