Abstract: The present technology relates to an image processing device and an image processing method capable of reducing a used amount of a memory while suppressing deterioration in a noise reduction effect of an image. An image processing device is provided with a reduced image generation unit which reduces an original image in a stepwise manner to generate one or more n reduced images, a noise reduction unit which reduces a noise component in a predetermined frequency band of the original image, a noise extraction unit which performs processing of extracting a noise component in a predetermined frequency band from each of the reduced images in parallel, a noise synthesis unit which synthesizes noise components extracted from the respective reduced images, and a subtraction unit which subtracts a synthesized noise component from the original image after noise reduction. The present technology is applicable to, for example, an image processing device which reduces image noise.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an image processing apparatus for enabling speed-up of spectroscopic correction processing on a multispectral image and a reduction in the amount of stored data to be achieved, an image processing method, a program, and an electronic apparatus.An image processing apparatus includes an image reduction part configured to reduce a multispectral image in which an object is shot by a light dispersed in many wavelength bands, and to generate reduced images for each of the wavelength bands, and a spectroscopic correction processing part configured to perform spectroscopic correction processing of correcting a spectroscopic distribution of the reduced images for each of the wavelength bands generated by the image reduction part. Then, the processing is performed on the multispectral image shot by an imaging device including a metallic thin film filter which is provided closer to a light incident side than a photoelectric conversion device in at least some pixels and which is different in film thickness of a conductive thin film per pixel. The present technology can be applied to a shooting apparatus mounting an image sensor including a metallic thin film filter such as a plasmon filter in a hole array structure or a dot array structure, for example.
