The present technology relates to an image processing device, an image processing method, and a vehicle for enabling measurement of the distance to an object existing in a wide range, using a stereo image pair including wide-angle images imaged by a wide-angle camera. An image processing device according to the present technology includes a first generation unit configured to project a first image on a plurality of planes on a virtual spherical surface according to projection angles obtained by dividing a viewing angle at time of capturing the first image to generate the plurality of basis planar images, a second generation unit configured to project a second image on a plurality of planes on a virtual spherical surface according to projection angles obtained by dividing a viewing angle at time of capturing the second image having an imaging range overlapping with the first image to generate the plurality of reference planar images, and a plurality of stereo image processing units configured to perform stereo image processing using a corresponding image pair of the plurality of generated basis planar images and reference planar images to generate distance information indicating a distance to an object on the basis image. The present technology can be mounted on, for example, an automobile.
