IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD AND DATA STRUCTURE OF METADATA

The present technology relates to an image processing method and a data structure of metadata that allow for image processing on a plurality of captured images obtained by operation of a formation flight. A satellite cluster management device and an image analysis server as image processing apparatuses perform predetermined image processing on the basis of satellite specification information for specifying an artificial satellite associated as metadata with a captured image captured by the artificial satellite. The present technology can be applied to, for example, artificial satellites that perform satellite remote sensing by a formation flight.
