Abstract
Motion vector calculator sets motion vector of block corresponding to partial area of first image based on the block and similarity between the block and partial area of second image, motion vector reliability calculator calculates reliability of the motion vector based on distribution of the similarities, motion vector corrector corrects motion vector of low-reliability block having reliability lower than predetermined reliability based on motion vector of high-reliability block different from the low-reliability block and having reliability equal to or higher than the predetermined reliability, and image processor sets second pixel of the second image and corresponds to first pixel of the first image based on the motion vector corrected by the motion vector corrector, and performs image processing using signal value of the first pixel and signal value of the second pixel.
