An information processing apparatus includes a control unit. The control unit calculates an RGB value output by an imaging apparatus when imaging of a predetermined color is performed by using the imaging apparatus by using characteristic data related to a spectroscopic sensitivity characteristic of the imaging apparatus, photographing-side spectroscopic data, and color spectroscopic data. The control unit acquires display-side spectroscopic data related to a spectroscopic distribution characteristic of a light source in a display environment in which imaged data imaged by the imaging apparatus is displayed on a display apparatus. The control unit calculates an XYZ value when the predetermined color is displayed on the display apparatus by using the display-side spectroscopic data and the color spectroscopic data. The control unit calculates conversion information for converting the RGB value into the XYZ value.

An image display apparatus includes an interlaced-to-progressive converter configured to receive input of interlaced signals and to convert the interlaced signals into progressive signals including interpolated pixels generated by interpolation; a level converter configured to adjust output levels of the interpolated pixels included in the progressive signals generated by the interlaced-to-progressive converter; and a display unit employing a frame-holding display method, configured to output an image obtained through the level conversion by the level converter.

Image display apparatus, signal processing apparatus, image processing method, and computer program product

An image display apparatus includes the following elements. An IP converter performs signal conversion processing for converting an interlace signal into a progressive signal including information on interpolated pixels. A frame controller temporally divides an input image frame to generate a plurality of sub-frames. A high-frequency-enhanced sub-frame generator and a high-frequency-suppressed sub-frame generator perform filtering processing on the sub-frames to generate high-frequency-enhanced sub-frames and high-frequency-suppressed sub-frames, respectively. A first output controller alternately outputs the high-frequency-enhanced sub-frames and the high-frequency-suppressed sub-frames. A gain controller adjusts an output level of the sub-frames. A second output controller receives an output from the first output controller and an output from the gain controller to output an output-level-adjusted signal as a signal corresponding to the interpolated pixels and outputs an output-level non-adjusted signal as an original pixel signal. A display unit performs frame-hold-type display processing and alternately displays the high-frequency-enhanced sub-frames and the high-frequency-suppressed sub-frames.

An image display apparatus includes a display unit including a liquid crystal panel; a video signal processor configured to perform signal processing on the basis of an image display form in the display unit; and an AC drive controller configured to control video display by receiving a result of the signal processing performed in the video signal processor and controlling a voltage applied to the liquid crystal panel included in the display unit. The AC drive controller performs, for each pixel of the liquid crystal panel, AC drive control of alternately switching a polarity between + and &#x2212; in units of pairs of the same signal processing, each pair being two pixels on time series on which signal processing of the same category is performed in the video signal processor.
