Abstract
Provided is an image processing device, including a division area setting unit for dividing and cutting out a plurality of image areas from a single image; and a synthesizing unit for synthesizing into a single image the plurality of image areas divided and cut out with the division area setting unit. By cutting out several arbitrary image areas from the same image output of a single camera and synthesizing and outputting the cutout portion, variations that arise among cameras in a case where several cameras are used will not occur. Further, an image processing unit for performing individual image processing on the plurality of divided and cut out image areas may be further provided, and the synthesizing unit may be used to synthesize the images subjected to individual image processing into a single image.
