Image processor and image display apparatus provided with such image processor

Abstract

The image processor (101) for motion compensated image processing comprises a motion compensation unit (106) for calculating an output image based on a particular motion vector field and based on a first input image and a second input image. The particular motion vector field can be calculated by a motion estimator (104) which is part of the image processor (101) or by an external unit (108). The image processor (101) is designed to select from which source, i.e. the motion estimator (104) or the external unit (108), the particular motion vector field is taken to calculate the output image. The external source is designed to calculate the particular motion vector field based on a motion vector field which was provided by the motion estimator (104) of the image processor (101).
