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

An image processing device, comprising:

• a feature amount calculating unit for receiving an infrared light image and extracting a feature amount;
• and
• an image correcting unit for executing pixel value correction processing on the infrared light image on the basis of a reference area and a correction parameter determined depending on the feature amount.

An image processing method executed in an image processing device, the method comprising:

• a feature amount calculating step of receiving, by a feature amount calculating unit, an infrared light image and a visible light image and extracting a feature amount from at least one of the images;
• and
• an image correcting step of executing, by an image correcting unit, pixel value correction processing on the infrared light image on the basis of a reference area and a correction parameter determined depending on the feature amount.

A program for causing an image processing device to execute image processing,

• wherein the program causes a feature amount calculating unit to receive an infrared light image and a visible light image and to extract a feature amount from at least one of the images, and
• the program causes an image correcting unit to execute pixel value correction processing on the infrared light image on the basis of a reference area and a correction parameter determined depending on the feature amount.
