Abstract

An attached substance detection device according to an embodiment includes a calculation unit and a determination unit. The calculation unit calculates a score of a divided region that is provided by dividing a predetermined target region, based on an edge intensity in each pixel region of a captured image that is captured by an image-capturing device. The determination unit determines whether or not the target region is an attached substance region where an attached substance is attached to a lens of the image-capturing device, based on the score that is calculated by the calculation unit.
