An image projection apparatus which is capable of preventing an image which would be a hindrance to viewing printed material from being projected on the printed material. Based on input image data, a projection unit projects a projected image. Whether or not the printed material is placed on a screen at a projection destination of light projected by the projection unit is determined. The projection unit is controlled based on a result of the determination.

A reading unit adds an end portion included in the second divided image to the first divided image and reads the result as a first read image from the frame memory. Also, the read unit reads the second divided image as a second read image from the frame memory. An image processing unit performs image processing for the first and second read images read from the frame memory. A cutting unit cuts a second sub-end portion from the first read image after the image processing and outputs the result, and cuts a first sub-end portion from the second read image after the image processing and outputs the result.

Image processing apparatus configured to perform image processing for plural images and control method thereof

The frame rate of a pause frame of a moving image is detected. The number of frame images of the moving image to be used in a process of increasing the resolution of a low-resolution image is determined such that a larger number of frame images is set for a higher detected frame rate. In a super-resolution process, a high-resolution image is generated using the determined number of continuous frame images including the pause frame of the moving image. This makes it possible to appropriately determine the number of frames to be referred to in the super-resolution process in accordance with the frame rate of a moving image when generating a high-resolution image from the frames of a low-resolution moving image.
