Abstract
An image processing device includes: a separation unit configured to separate a plurality of wide-band image signals corresponding to wide-band light passing through each of a plurality of wide-band filters and a narrow-band image signal corresponding to narrow-band light passing through a narrow-band filter, from each other, based on an image signal input from an imaging device; a demosaicing unit configured to perform demosaic processing that interpolates one of the plurality of wide-band image signals based on edge information from the narrow-band image signal separated by the separation unit; and an image generation unit configured to generate a wide-band image by using the wide-band image signal interpolated by the demosaic processing performed by the demosaicing unit and generate a narrow-band image by using the narrow-band image signal.
