Abstract
Provided is an image processing device that includes a first generation unit that projects a first image on a plurality of planes on a virtual spherical surface according to projection angles obtained by dividing a viewing angle at time of capturing the first image to generate the plurality of basis planar images. The image processing device further includes a second generation unit that projects a second image on a plurality of planes on a virtual spherical surface according to projection angles obtained by dividing a viewing angle at time of capturing the second image having an imaging range overlapping with the first image to generate the plurality of reference planar images, and a plurality of stereo image processing units that performs stereo image processing using a corresponding image pair of the plurality of generated basis planar images and reference planar images to generate distance information indicating a distance to an object on the basis image.
