Abstract
An image processing device capable of stably performing white balance control. A first WB correction value is calculated according to an infrared light amount obtained from a first image. A second WB correction value different from the first one is calculated according to white pixels obtained from the first image. A third WB correction value is calculated based on the first and second WB correction values. White balance processing is performed on the first image using the third WB correction value, which is stored as a reference WB correction value. When the infrared light amount not smaller than a predetermined amount is obtained from the second image and also the number of obtained white pixels is smaller than a predetermined number, white balance processing is performed on the second image using the stored reference WB correction value.
