    Abstract: The present invention provides an image processing device, an imaging apparatus, and an image processing method capable of acquiring images that are registered with high accuracy and include only a component of a desired wavelength range. In an image processing device according to an aspect of the invention, at least one image is captured with light having a plurality of wavelength ranges not overlapping one another (that is, including an intentional interference component in addition to a principal wavelength range), and at least one wavelength range of the plurality of wavelength ranges is common among the images. Accordingly, it is possible to detect correspondence points among a plurality of images based on information of such a common wavelength range, and to register the plurality of images with high accuracy. In addition, since an influence of light having a wavelength range other than a specific wavelength range is eliminated after registration, it is possible to acquire a plurality of images including only a component of a desired wavelength range.
