Abstract
There is provided an image processing device and method, and a program for enabling improvement in image quality in sensor shift imaging. When performing imaging while shifting the pixel phase of an image sensor having a two-dimensional pixel array, an image processing device adds up, for each pixel phase, a plurality of frames imaged in each pixel phase, and generates an addition frame for each pixel phase. The image processing device then combines the addition frames of the respective pixel phases. The present technology can be applied to a sensor shift imaging system.
