Abstract
In an image converting apparatus for converting image data of a field format in which a frame consists of a first field and a second field into image data of a resultant frame with a predetermined size. The apparatus includes an even-numbered field decoder for decoding each line of scanning line data of the even-numbered field, an odd-numbered field decoder for decoding scanning line data of the even-numbered field by thinning out every second line, and an original image frame buffer for combining the decoded image data with each other into one frame of image data and for storing the resultant data therein.
