Abstract
A picture signal processing apparatus includes a motion vector detecting unit for detecting information as to a motion vector of a picture from frames contained in an input picture signal; an interpolation frame producing unit for producing an interpolation frame by employing the motion vector; and a frame stream producing unit for producing a picture signal of a new frame stream by combining the interpolation frame produced with the frames of the input picture signal so as to output the produced picture signal of the new frame stream. When the picture signal processing apparatus performs a converting operation in such a manner that interpolation frames are continued between two frames of the input picture signal, at least one interpolation frame among the interpolation frames is formed as such an interpolation frame formed without employing the motion vector (namely, not depending upon motion of picture).
