ABSTRACT:
An image processing device and method, where the device includes a data continuity detector configured to detect data continuity of image data made up of a plurality of pixels acquired by light signals of a real world being cast upon a plurality of detecting elements each having spatio-temporal integration effects, and a real world estimating unit configured to generate a gradient of pixel values of the plurality of pixels corresponding to a position in one dimensional direction of spatio-temporal directions as to pixels of interest within the image data.
