IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND MICROSCOPE

摘要

In order to smoothly observe even an object having a low brightness, the image processing device (3) according to the present invention is provided with: a pattern matching unit (12) that performs pattern matching processing between a first image and a second image acquired earlier than the first image, and that outputs a motion vector between the images and an evaluation value indicating the certainty of the motion vector; a circulation-type noise reducing unit (14) that outputs a noise reduction image obtained by performing noise reduction processing on the first image, and that combines an image based on the first image and an image based on a past noise reduction image in accordance with a predetermined circulation amount; and a control unit (13) that controls the circulation amount of the circulation-type noise reducing unit (14) on the basis of the motion vector and the evaluation value outputted by the pattern matching unit (12), and a gain to be applied to the first image to adjust brightness.
