Abstract
A three-dimensional noise reduction processing unit perform as a recursive noise reduction process to an input image X(n), using a motion vector MV detected by a motion vector detecting unit. A three-dimensional noise reduced image B(n) is output as a corrected original image Y(n). A two-dimensional noise reduction filter processing unit applies a two-dimensional noise reduction filter to the input image X(n). Using the motion vector MV, an interpolated image generating unit generates an interpolated image Y(n+0.5) based on a two-dimensional noise reduced image A(n). Significant degradation of an interpolated image due to false detection of a motion vector is prevented by generating the interpolated image based on the image resulted without performing the recursive noise reduction process.
