Patent number: 11170511Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an image processing device, an imaging device, and an image processing method to superimpose a complementary image in such a manner that an appearance becomes more natural. From an image acquired by imaging of an arbitrary subject, a removal region selecting unit selects a region, in which an intended object to be removed is included, as a removal region with reference to distance information that is acquired when the image is imaged and that indicates a distance to the subject. Based on the distance information, a complementary region specifying unit specifies a complementary region to complement the removal region from a region including a background of the object to be removed in the image. An image superimposition processing unit superimposes a complementary image generated from the complementary region on a place from which the removal region is deleted in the image.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2018Date of Patent: November 9, 2021Assignee: SONY SEMICONDUCTOR SOLUTIONS CORPORATIONInventors: Takaaki Nakagawa, Keita Ishikawa, Hiromasa Doi
