An image processing device and method, where the device includes a data continuity detector configured to detect data continuity of a first image data made up of a plurality of pixels acquired by light signals of a real world being cast upon a plurality of detecting elements each having spatio-temporal integration effects, a real world estimating unit configured to detect real world features which a first function representing the real world light signals has, and an image generator configured to predict and generate second image data having a higher quality than the first image data, based on the real world features detected by the real world estimating unit.
