Abstract
An image processing apparatus, in which an interpolation frame is inserted between a current frame and a first delayed frame preceding the current frame by one frame, includes a motion vector detector, a motion vector converter, and an interpolation frame generator; wherein the motion vector detector includes a test interpolator outputting test interpolation data, an interpolation data evaluator evaluating a correlation of each of the test interpolation data with reference to the first-delayed-frame block data, thereby outputting evaluation data indicating results of the evaluating, and a motion vector determiner outputting a motion vector of an item of the evaluation data having highest correlation in the plurality of items of the evaluation data; and the first to third test interpolation data are obtained as the test interpolation data from a plurality of items of the second-delayed-frame block data and a plurality of items of the current-frame block data.
