Abstract

An image-processor includes: a discrete-motion-vector calculator calculating motion vectors of individual measurement regions and confidences thereof based on a standard image and a reference image or a combined image generated based on the reference image; a global-vector calculator separately calculating, based on the motion vectors and the confidences thereof, a global vector of the standard image, a confidence thereof, a local vector of a processing target region in the standard image, and a confidence of the local vector; a local-vector interpolator; a local-vector-confidence interpolator; a motion-vector selector selecting the local vector or the global vector based on at least one of the local vector, the confidence thereof, the global vector, and the confidence thereof; a motion-compensated-image generator generating, based on the selected vector, a motion-compensated image of the reference image or the combined image; and a blender weighted adding the processing target region and the motion-compensated image.
