Abstract
A purpose of the present invention is to implement, by specifying a process target area, an image generation device which generates an image (video) from which an image quality improving effect can be recognized and a display device which displays the image. An image generation device () includes a screen duplication unit (), a mask area determination unit (), a composition unit (), and an image quality adjustment unit (). The screen duplication unit () extracts and outputs at least a part of an image area of an input image as a process target image. The mask area determination unit () determines a mask area of the process target image and generates a mask image specifying the mask area. The image quality adjustment unit () performs predetermined image process to the mask area, which is determined by the mask area determination unit () in the process target image and outputs the image, to which the image process is performed, as an image after image quality adjustment. The composition unit () acquires a composited image in which the process target image, the mask image, and the image after the image quality adjustment are composited so that the process target image, the mask image, and the image after the image quality adjustment are displayed on a display screen.
