An image processing device may include detection means for detecting a motion vector of an input image signal which is an input time-series image signal; interpolation means for interpolating, based on the motion vector, a signal between input image signals which is an image signal at an arbitrary time between the input image signal and a previous input image signal immediately preceding the input image signal, the interpolation means for further outputting an interpolated signal; acquisition means for acquiring superimposition information which indicates the position, in the input image signal, of a predetermined image signal to be superimposed on the input image signal; and specification means for specifying, based on the superimposition information, at least one non-interpolation region of the signal between input image signals in which the interpolation is not performed.

Image processing device, method and program

In the present invention, there is provided an image processing apparatus including: a detecting section configured to detect a motion vector from an input image signal acting as the image signal for each of chronologically input pixels; a determining section configured to determine whether the input image signal is cleared; and an interpolating section configured such that if the input image signal is not found cleared, then the interpolating section interpolates and outputs an input image signal intermediate signal interposed at a predetermined point in time between the uncleared input image signal and a preceding input image signal that precedes the uncleared input signal, in accordance with the motion vector; and if the input image signal is found cleared, then the interpolating section allows the input image signal to be output unchanged as the input image signal intermediate signal.

Image processing apparatus, image processing method, and program

An image processing apparatus includes: a detecting unit configured to detect a motion vector from an input image signal acting as the image signal for each of chronologically input pixels; a determining unit configured to determine whether the input image signal in terms of a level meets a predetermined condition; and an interpolating unit configured such that if the input image signal is not found to meet the predetermined condition, then the interpolating unit interpolates and outputs an input image signal intermediate signal interposed at a predetermined point in time between the input image signal and a preceding input image signal that precedes the input image signal, in accordance with the motion vector, and if the input image signal is found to meet the predetermined condition, then the interpolating unit allows the input image signal to be output unchanged as the input image signal intermediate signal.
