IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE AND IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD

摘要

An image processing apparatus and an image processing method, enabling achievement of both an effect of improvement of motion-picture response and a reduction of flicker even in a case of a low frame rate, are provided. The apparatus has a processing region detection portion 120 including a first detection portion 121 detecting motion of an image in a sub frame from a continuous plurality of sub frames, and a second detection portion 122 detecting a component having a predetermined value or more of level difference to peripheral pixels of pixels forming an image in the sub frame; and a gradation conversion portion 130 including a plurality of adaptive gradation conversion portions 131 and 132 converting the gradation for a region of the component having a level difference at which motion is detected in the corresponding sub frame among the plurality of sub frames in accordance with the output signal of the processing region detection portion 120 and a sub frame selecting and outputting portion 133 alternately selecting and outputting the selectively graduation converted sub frames for each sub frame rate.
