An image processing device which compensates for a stereoscopic effect of a stereoscopic image, the image processing device including: an obtaining unit which obtains a left-eye image and a right-eye image which are included in the stereoscopic image; a recognition image generating unit which generates a recognition image corresponding to the stereoscopic image by applying a pattern to a virtual stereoscopic structure generated based on a depth represented in the stereoscopic image; a right/left recognition image generating unit which generates, from the recognition image, a right-eye recognition image and a left-eye recognition image according to a disparity of the stereoscopic image for stereoscopically viewing the recognition image; and an image combining unit which combines the right-eye recognition image with the right-eye image obtained by the obtaining unit and combines the left-eye recognition image with the left-eye image obtained by the obtaining unit.
