A gloss measurement apparatus which emits light from a light source and
finds an evaluation value, which represents a glossiness of an object to
be measured, on the basis of specular reflected light which is reflected
by the object to be measured. The gloss measurement apparatus is provided
with an acquisition component, a pixel gloss value calculation component
and an evaluation value calculation component. The acquisition component
acquires image information in accordance with received light amounts, at
predetermined respective pixels, of specular reflected light from a
surface of the object to be measured. The pixel gloss value calculation
component calculates gloss values of the respective pixels on the basis
of the received light amounts at the respective pixels of the image
information acquired by the acquisition component. The evaluation value
calculation component calculates the evaluation value representing the
glossiness of the object to be measured on the basis of the gloss values
calculated by the pixel gloss value calculation component.
