Abstract
A video display apparatus is provided wherein even for ones, such as 32 pull-down and 22 pull-down, in which since the motion range of an original material is wide, there is a high probability of degradation of the precision of detected vectors, the processing time is effectively used to enhance the precision of detected vectors, thereby generating interpolated pictures having higher qualities. The apparatus recalculates, based on motion vectors (Va) used in generating the first interpolated picture, motion vectors for use in the next interpolated picture generation, thereby detecting recalculated motion vectors having higher precision and less errors than the original motion vectors. A repeated-picture determining part utilizes an interval, during which identical pictures requiring no vector detections consecutively appear, to further improve the precision of motion vectors.
