Abstract
A motion detecting apparatus in which when pixels within a search range formed of a predetermined number of pixels and pixels within a reference data block the number of which is smaller than the predetermined number of pixels in the search range, are compared on the basis of the arrangement state thereof, a processing circuit processes sums of difference absolute values of respective pixels within the reference data block and corresponding pixels within the search range formed at every search range, to thereby detect a motion state on the basis of the sums. Respective pixels within the search range are input to the processing circuit at a set time and pixels within the search range are input to the processing circuit at the set time, thereby being sequentially processed with corresponding pixels within the data block.
