FOG DETERMINATION APPARATUS, FOG DETERMINATION METHOD, AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM

A point data acquisition unit acquires point data indicating a reflection point obtained by an optical sensor that receives reflected light of an emitted light beam reflected at the reflection point. An image data acquisition unit acquires image data of an area around the reflection point indicated by the point data. A luminance calculation unit calculates smoothness of luminance of the image data. A fog determination unit determines the density of fog based on a distance, which is determined from the point data, from the optical sensor to the reflection point and the smoothness of the luminance.
