Systems, devices, and methods are provided for remote interaction with a subject in an environment. The device has audio-visual recording and transmitting functionality to provide an operator at a remote location with an audio-visual feed of the environment near the device. The device also has a light emission component which the operator controls and which projects light onto a surface in the environment in the vicinity of the device. The systems, devices, and methods provide operators with the ability to interact with pets and provide exercise and stimulation to pets when their owners are away.

An apparatus includes an acquisition unit configured to acquire first polarization information that includes a polarized light component and an angle component using luminance values of input images obtained by imaging light of a plurality of colors in a plurality of different polarization states, a correction unit configured to acquire corrected polarization information obtained by replacing at least part of the first polarization information in a specific area with second polarization information obtained using a luminance value of a specific color among the plurality of colors in the specific area in the input images, and a generation unit configured to generate an output image using the corrected polarization information. The polarized light component is a luminance component that changes according to polarization angles. The angle component is a polarization angle that maximizes the luminance value.

To allow re-producing, in another image processing apparatus, contents of image processing in an image processing apparatus, a provisional color grading apparatus 300 determines normalizing points (CodeValues that serve as references for normalizing) of input image signals according to format information and normalizes the input image signals. The provisional color grading apparatus 300 records values (normalizing information) obtained by converting the normalizing points into numerical values independent of devices, in association with parameters of color grading.
