Abstract

An image correction device includes a reception unit, a detection unit and a correction unit. The reception unit receives a first-image and a second-image, which are obtained by a first-imaging device and a second-imaging device, and an imaging condition that is at least one piece of information on an imaging date and time or information on an imaging location corresponding to each of the first-image and the second-image. The detection unit detects the same scene between images indicated by the first-image and the second-image based on the imaging conditions corresponding to each of the first-image and the second-image. The correction unit extracts, from each of the images indicated by the first-image and the second-image corresponding to the same scene, a common subject which is common between the images, and performs, on the corresponding image, color correction of making colors of the extracted common subject similar to each other.
