An image processing device includes a dividing unit which divides a brightness histogram of an input image into a plurality of value regions according to gradation, a ratio computing unit which computes the number of pixels of each value region divided by the dividing unit and the number of pixels of the input image, respectively, and computes a ratio or a magnitude relation of the number of pixels of each value region with respect to the number of pixels of the input image, and a control-point computing unit which computes a control point, which specifies a shape of a correction curve for image correction according to a feature of the input image, based on the ratio or the magnitude relation of each value region computed by the ratio computing unit.
