Image processing device, image processing method, imaging device, and program

An image processing method comprising:

• acquiring a captured image to be processed from a storage unit in which a captured image having first date and time information indicating a time of imaging is stored;
• acquiring the first date and time information from the captured image to be processed and acquiring second date and time information indicating a date and time when the captured image to be processed is acquired from the storage unit;
• calculating an elapsed date and time from the time of imaging by making a comparison between the first date and time information and the second date and time information;
• selecting image processing based on a length of the elapsed date and time from among a plurality of kinds of image processing that change according to the length of the elapsed date and time and performing the selected image processing on the captured image to be processed;
• and
• setting one imaging mode from among a plurality of imaging modes,
• wherein the method further comprises changing the plurality of kinds of image processing that change according to the length of the elapsed date and time in accordance with the set imaging mode.

A non-transitory computer readable recording medium storing a program causing a computer to execute an image processing process comprising:

• a step of acquiring a captured image to be processed from a storage unit in which a captured image having first date and time information indicating a time of imaging is stored;
• a step of acquiring the first date and time information from the captured image to be processed and acquiring second date and time information indicating a date and time when the captured image to be processed is acquired from the storage unit;
• a step of calculating an elapsed date and time from the time of imaging by making a comparison between the first date and time information and the second date and time information;
• a step of selecting image processing based on a length of the elapsed date and time from among a plurality of kinds of image processing that change according to the length of the elapsed date and time and performing the selected image processing on the captured image to be processed;
• and
• a step of setting one imaging mode from among a plurality of imaging modes,
• wherein the image processing process further comprises changing the plurality of kinds of image processing that change according to the length of the elapsed date and time in accordance with the set imaging mode.
