Abstract
An image processing device includes a processor including hardware, the processor being configured to implement an image acquisition process that acquires captured images from an imaging section that performs a frame sequential imaging process in which one cycle includes first to N-th frames, and a synthesis process, wherein the processor implements the image acquisition process that acquires a plurality of captured images that have been captured in an i-th frame and differ from each other as to an in-focus object plane position, and the processor implements the synthesis process that calculates a second synthesis map based on a first synthesis map calculated with respect to the i-th frame, and the first synthesis map calculated with respect to a k-th frame, and synthesizes the plurality of images that have been captured in the i-th frame based on the second synthesis map.
