1. An image processing device, comprising:

circuitry configured to

acquire, by processing pixels of a first resolution image, a second resolution image having a lower resolution than the first resolution image;

extract and classify an object from the acquired second resolution image;

identify, in the first resolution image based on a position of the extracted object within the acquired second resolution image, an object area corresponding to the object extracted from the second resolution image, the extracted object having a predetermined classification; and

perform recognition processing of the object in the object area identified in the first resolution image.
