Abstract
It is intended to make it possible to make a favorable display of, for example, images of low frame-rate content, with a high-luminance and high-contrast television set. On the basis of an image stream having a first frame rate, for each frame, an object having luminance exceeding a luminance threshold value and/or a motion amount exceeding a motion-amount threshold value is detected as a target object. An image stream having a second frame rate larger than the first frame rate is acquired by inserting, between every pair of two consecutive frames in the image stream having the first frame rate, a predetermined number of frames of interpolated images obtained by performing motion compensation for causing the target object to sequentially move.
Claims21
An image processing device comprising:
- a circuitry configured to
- detect for each frame in an image having a first frame rate, a target object in accordance with its motion amount;
- and
- obtain an image stream having a second frame rate larger than the first frame rate by inserting, between consecutive frames in the image stream having the first frame rate, a number of frames of interpolated images by performing motion compensation of the target object.
An image processing method comprising:
- detecting for each frame in an image stream having a first frame rate, a target object in accordance with its motion amount;
- and
- obtaining an image stream having a second frame rate larger than the first frame rate by inserting, between consecutive frames in the image stream having the first frame rate, a number of frames of interpolated images by performing motion compensation of the target object.
