An image that enables proper object recognition is generated. An image processing device includes an image processing unit that processes an image. The image processing unit included in this image processing device corrects the level of a pixel constituting the image. That is, the image processing unit corrects the level of a target pixel constituting the image on the basis of a low-frequency component in a peripheral image of a pixel constituting the target image. Here, the peripheral image is made up of a plurality of pixels that includes the target pixel and is located around the target pixel.
