Abstract
An image processing method includes: a frame selection step for selecting a base frame and a reference frame; an image displacement amount calculation step for calculating an image displacement amount between the reference frame and the base frame; a weighting coefficient generation step for generating a weighting coefficient using at least one of an encoding type of the reference frame and the motion information of the encoded moving image data; and an image quality improvement step for improving an image quality of the base frame using the image displacement amount calculated in the image displacement amount calculation step and the weighting coefficient generated in the weighting coefficient generation step.
