Abstract
The present technology relates to an image processing device, an image processing method, and an image processing system capable of improving detection accuracy of a defective pixel. Provided is an image processing device including a defective pixel estimation unit that estimates a defect of a pixel of interest in an image captured by a solid-state imaging device that contains a two-dimensional array of color pixels, and high-sensitivity pixels having higher sensitivity than sensitivities of the color pixels. The defect of the pixel of interest is estimated on the basis of a correlation between pixel values of the high-sensitivity pixels, and pixel values of the color pixels. The image processing device further includes a defective pixel correction unit that corrects the pixel of interest when it is estimated that the pixel of interest is a defective pixel. The present technology is applicable to an image processing device which corrects a defective pixel by signal processing, for example.
