Abstract
Disclosed is an image processing device for generating disparity information from a first image and a second image, wherein the first image is captured by a first capture unit and the second image is captured by a second capture unit. The image processing device includes a disparity detector configured to detect disparity information of a pixel or a pixel block of the second image by correlating the pixel or the pixel block of the second image with each of pixels or each of pixel blocks of the first image within a detection width. The disparity detector is configured to detect the disparity information of the pixel or the pixel block of the second image more than once by changing a start point of pixels or pixel blocks of the first image within the detection width.
