Abstract

A flare determination apparatus includes an image input unit inputting an image, an image correction unit correcting the image using a correction coefficient to be set based on a gain value for white balance processing depending on a light source type, a region detection unit detecting a region included in a predetermined color component range from the image being corrected by the image correction unit, and a determination unit determining whether or not a flare is generated in the region being detected by the region detection unit.
