Abstract
A plurality of motion vectors are acquired from consecutive images. From the acquired plurality of motion vectors, a motion vector of interest and neighboring motion vectors neighboring the motion vector of interest are selected and a degree of similarity between two motion vectors is acquired. A value related to the total number of neighboring motion vectors having high degrees of similarity to the motion vector of interest is acquired as a degree of reliability.
