Abstract
The present disclosure relates to an image processing device and an image processing method which are capable of improving the image quality using a plurality of images captured by a plurality of imaging units. The presence or absence of mutual parallax is determined using a main image including a low sensitivity high resolution image captured by a high resolution imaging unit and a sub image including a low resolution high sensitivity image captured by a high sensitivity imaging unit, and when there is parallax, similar pixels searched in the sub image are synthesized with respective pixels of the main image through a search synthesis process, and when there is no parallax, pixels at the same position are synthesized through an optimal synthesis process. The present disclosure can be applied to an imaging device.
