Abstract
An image processing device includes: an estimation unit configured to estimate a spectral reflectance ratio at each pixel position in a visible light image and a near infrared image in which an object of photographing is photographed, the spectral reflectance ratio indicating a ratio of a spectral reflectance of a visible light wavelength region to a spectral reflectance of a near infrared light wavelength region; and a restoration unit configured to multiply an estimated spectral reflectance ratio by luminance of the near infrared image at each pixel position and generate a restored visible light image.
