Abstract
An inverse telecine conversion arrangement and methodology that accurately judges whether entered moving television picture information is originally a television material or a cinematic material, and performs inverse telecine conversion based on a result of the judgement. The apparatus includes a structure judging portion which judges whether a structure is a frame structure or a field structure based on adjacent pieces of field image information in the received moving television picture information which are adjacent to each other in terms of time; and a pattern judging portion which determines that the received moving television picture information has a predetermined pattern based on a pattern in which a field structure and a frame structure judged by the structure judging portion are successive to each other, and when the pattern judging portion recognizes the predetermined pattern, a corresponding piece of the received moving television picture information is inverse telecine converted.
