Abstract

An attachable matter detection apparatus according to an embodiment includes an acquirement unit, a creation unit, and a determination unit. The acquirement unit acquires a determination target area of an attachable matter from a photographic image. The creation unit creates histograms of at least an edge intensity, luminance, and saturation for the determination target area acquired by the acquirement unit. The determination unit determines whether or not the attachable matter exists in the determination target area on the basis of a ratio of frequency of each grade in each of the histograms created by the creation unit.
