Abstract
An image processing apparatus includes a first frame image acquisition unit that acquires a plurality of first frame images constituting a moving image, a second frame image insertion section that generates a second frame image and inserts the second frame image including a white image between successive ones of the plurality of acquired first frame images, and a frame image output unit that outputs the plurality of first frame images with the second frame images inserted therebetween.
Claims6
An image processing apparatus, comprising:
- a first frame image acquisition unit to acquire a plurality of first frame images constituting a moving image;
- a second frame image insertion section to generate a second frame image, the second frame image including a white image, and insert the second frame image between successive ones of the plurality of acquired first frame images;
- and
- a frame image output unit to output the plurality of first frame images with the second frame image inserted therebetween,
- the second frame image insertion section including:
- a high-rate frame image generator configured to generate a high-rate frame image time-sequentially consecutive to each of the plurality of acquired first frame images;
- a white image pattern generator configured to generate a white image pattern including the white image for transforming the high-rate frame image into the second frame image;
- and
- a second frame image transformer configured to transform the high-rate frame image into the second frame image based on the white image pattern.

- a second frame image transformer configured to transform the high-rate frame image into the second frame image based on the white image pattern, and
- a brightness detector to detect a brightness level of the acquired first frame images;
- wherein the white image pattern generator sets a luminance value of the white image included in the white image pattern in accordance with the detected brightness level so as to increase the luminance value of the white image if the detected brightness level exceeds a predetermined threshold and to decrease the luminance value of the white image if the detected brightness level does not exceed the predetermined threshold, and
- the white image pattern generator sets the luminance value of the white image by comparing the detected brightness level with the predetermined threshold value.
