Abstract
According to one embodiment, an interpolation frame generation apparatus generates an interpolation frame image to be inserted between continuous frame images. The interpolation frame generation apparatus includes a motion vector detection module and a generation module. The motion vector detection module is configured to execute block matching processing in each of a plurality of blocks included in the continuous frame images and specify one motion vector on an interpolation frame. The generation module is configured to, for an interpolation block in which the motion vector detection module specifies one motion vector, generate an interpolation frame image based on the motion vector, and for an interpolation block in which the motion vector detection module does not specify one motion vector, generate an interpolation frame image based on the frame image containing no motion vector component.
