Abstract

An attempt is made to suppress the processing load while securing real-time properties of the image processing to improve visual recognizability of a captured image whose visual recognizability has been reduced by the influence of fine particle components. An image processing apparatus including: an extraction unit configured to extract an atmospheric light component from a captured image including an influence of fine particles in the atmosphere; and a removal processing unit configured to generate an image from the captured image, in which the influence of fine particles has been removed, based on the extracted atmospheric light component, and the extraction unit performs the extraction based on data of the captured image and data of an exposure value at the time of photographing the captured image.
