Abstract
An image processing device includes a disparity estimating unit configured to estimate a disparity between the first image and the second image based on a method different from stereo matching, a transforming unit configured to perform transformation processing on both the first image and the second image to reduce the number of pixels in the horizontal direction and/or the vertical direction, a setting unit configured to set, based on the disparity thus estimated, a search range for a corresponding point for the stereo matching, and a search unit configured to search only the search range thus set for a corresponding point of each pixel between the first image subjected to the transformation processing and the second image subjected to the transformation processing.
