Abstract

According to one embodiment, an image processing device includes a shift estimator, and a de-mosaic module. The shift estimator is configured to estimate a shift amount between a first pixel in a first image and a corresponding second pixel in a second image. The first image is taken by a first image pickup apparatus, and the second image is taken by a second image pickup apparatus. A focus position of the first image pickup apparatus is different from a focus position of the second image pickup apparatus. The de-mosaic module is configured to generate a first de-mosaic image by performing de-mosaic processing on each pixel in the first pixel using a pixel value of the corresponding second pixel, when the first pixel is determined to be in a state of in-focus based on the shift amount.
