PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make it possible to dispose an endoscope in a state where the endoscope has a degree of freedom without being fixed with respect to a retractor, and correct image deterioration such as blurring that may occur in that case.SOLUTION: An image processing device according to one aspect of this disclosure corrects a moving image having a predetermined frame rate in each frame, and is provided with: a marker detection unit which detects a marker that is provided in a surgical instrument and shows up in the frame to be processed; a calculation unit which calculates a blurring correction amount on the basis of the position of the detected marker; and a blurring correction unit which corrects blurring of the frame to be processed in accordance with the blurring correction amount. This disclosure is applicable to an endoscope system. 【課題】 リトラクタに対して内視鏡を固定せず自由度を持たせた状態で配置し、かつ、その場合に発生し得るぶれなどの画像劣化を補正する。【解決手段】 本開示の一側面である画像処理装置は、所定のフレームレートの動画像をフレーム毎に補正する画像処理装置において、処理対象の前記フレームに写し込まれている、術具に設けられたマーカを検出するマーカ検出部と、検出された前記マーカの位置に基づいてぶれ補正量を算出する算出部と、前記ぶれ補正量に従い、処理対象の前記フレームのぶれ補正を行うぶれ補正部とを備える。本開示は、内視鏡システムに適用できる。【選択図】 図８
