1. An image processing device, comprising:
circuitry configured to:
acquire, from an image sensor, captured facial images, wherein each of the captured facial images includes a subject;
detect facial feature information of the captured facial images;
acquire, from a storage unit, a standard 3D model of the subject;
select, based on the facial feature information, an optimal facial image from the captured facial images, wherein the optimal facial image includes a first facial expression having a relatively large change from a second facial expression of standard data of the standard 3D model; and
generate a first 3D model based on the optimal facial image and the facial feature information of the optimal facial image.
