Abstract:
1. An image processing device comprising: an image combining section for combining a plurality of combination image data of different scenes and generating combined image data; a WB setting section for performing setting for white balance correction processing; an image WB gain calculation section for calculating image WB gain respectively for the plurality of combination image data in accordance with setting of the WB setting section; a combined image WB gain calculating section for calculating combined image WB gain for the combined image data in accordance with information relating to a combination ratio for the image combining section and image WB gain for the respective plurality of combination image data calculated by the image WB gain calculation section; and a WB correction section for carrying out white balance correction for image data according to the combined image WB gain, wherein the WB correction section carries out white balance correction for the combined image data using combined image WB gain that has been calculated by the combined image WB gain calculating section, in accordance with setting of the WB setting section, wherein the image combining section includes a composition coefficient setting section for setting a composition coefficient at the time of combination for the plurality of combination image data, wherein the image combining section combines the plurality of combination image data in accordance with the composition coefficient and generates combined image data, and wherein the combined image WB gain calculating section calculates combined image WB gain for the combined image data, by subjecting image WB gain for the respective plurality of combined image data calculated by the image WB gain calculating section to weighted addition in accordance with the composition coefficient.
