IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD AND PROGRAM

An image processing device of the present invention includes: a motion amount estimating unit (22) which estimates, using feature points extracted from each of a first picture and a second picture, a motion amount indicating an amount of displacement of the second picture with respect to the first picture, the second picture being captured temporally after the first picture; a determining unit (23) which determines, using the feature points, whether or not correction is made using the motion amount estimated by the motion amount estimating unit (22); and a picture correcting unit (24) which corrects the displacement of the second picture with respect to the first picture using the motion amount so as to correct the displacement between the pictures, in the case where the determining unit determines (23) that the correction is made using the motion amount.
