Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An exemplary image processing apparatus generates an interpolation frame to be inserted between a first frame and a second frame of a moving picture contiguous with each other. The image processing apparatus includes: a repetitive pattern detection section configured to detect whether a repetitive pattern is present in at least one of the first and second frames; a motion vector calculation section configured to calculate a motion vector of an object in the first and second frames; and an interpolation frame generation section configured to compare a repetition cycle of the repetitive pattern in a first direction with a magnitude of the motion vector in the first direction so as to generate the interpolation frame through a process performed based on a result of the comparison.
