Claim One:
1. An image processing device comprising: a processor comprising hardware, wherein the processor is configured to: acquire a captured image of an object, wherein the captured image is an image captured by an image sensor; acquire distance information based on a distance from the image sensor to the object when the image sensor captured the captured image; acquire extracted irregularity information from the acquired distance information, wherein the extracted irregularity information represents irregular parts extracted from the object; and perform an enhancement process on an enhancement target, wherein the enhancement target is an irregular part among the irregular parts represented by the extracted irregularity information that agrees with characteristics specified by known characteristic information, and wherein the known characteristic information is information that represents known characteristics relating to a structure of the object, wherein in performing the enhancement process, the processor is configured to: acquire dimensional information as the known characteristic information, wherein the dimensional information represents at least one of a width and a depth of a recess of the object that is determined to be the enhancement target; set an enhancement level of the enhancement process for the recess based on the dimensional information; and perform a process that corrects at least one of a color, luminance, and contrast on the captured image based on the extracted irregularity information and the enhancement level.
