Abstract
This technique relate to an image processing device, an image processing method, an imaging device, an electronic equipment, and a program which can provide a technique to execute a highly accurate global motion search process which is robust to a local moving subject, an illumination intensity change, and the like. The image processing device includes: an image segmentation unit configured to make an image to be processed into plural divided images; a divided image selection unit configured to select a divided image, in which reliability of a motion search process is equal to or greater than a threshold value or reliability is relatively high, from the plural divided images; a first motion search processing unit configured to a motion search process for each divided image; and a second motion search processing unit configured to execute a motion search process for an entire image, in which an image segmentation is not performed, based on information of the motion search process for the selected divided image by the first motion search processing unit.
