1. An image processing device comprising:
an invalid pixel detection unit that detects a saturated pixel and a black-crushed pixel as invalid pixels from a non-polarized image and a plurality of polarized images for different polarization directions obtained by performing image pickup using a polarization image pickup device; and
a polarization information generation unit that performs processing of generating polarization information on a basis of the non-polarized image and the polarized images, and switches processing of generating the polarization information depending on a detection result of the invalid pixels in the invalid pixel detection unit,
wherein the invalid pixel detection unit detects a pixel having a pixel value larger than a preset saturation detection threshold as the saturated pixel, and
wherein the invalid pixel detection unit and the polarization information generation unit are each implemented via at least one processor.
