Claim:
1. An image processor that carries out matching on a plurality of images representing a same subject, the images having been captured by a device that captures a direct light image and a diffracted light image or that captures stereoscopic images, positions of the subject on the images having shifted in a predefined particular direction from each other, the processor comprising: an input interface that receives first and second images on one of which the position of the subject has shifted in the particular direction from the position on the other; and circuitry that: wherein when the circuitry updated the color image, the circuitry calculates the index value of the updated color image, and determines whether or not the first and second images match each other based on the index value, and wherein the circuitry performs the processing over and over again until the circuitry determines that the first and second images match each other, and wherein when the circuitry has determined that the first and second images match each other, the circuitry: wherein the image processor further comprises an output interface that outputs data representing the magnitude of overall motion of the second image as a result of the processing by the circuitry or outputs a synthetic image of the first image and the second image updated.
