PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To generate an appropriately interpolation frame even if an object having a repetitive pattern is present in a moving picture.SOLUTION: An image processing apparatus 160 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 160 includes: a repetitive pattern detection section 301 that detects whether a repetitive pattern is present in at least one of the first and second frames; a motion vector calculation section 302 that calculates a motion vector of an object in the first and second frames; and an interpolation frame generation section 310 that compares 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. |
