INTERPOLATION FRAME GENERATION APPARATUS, INTERPOLATION FRAME GENERATION METHOD, AND BROADCAST RECEIVING APPARATUS

摘要

An interpolation frame generation apparatus according to one embodiment, which generates an interpolation frame image to be inserted between continuous frame images, includes a block specific detection module (12) configured to execute block matching processing in one of a plurality of blocks included in the continuous frame images and determine a block specific motion vector, a pixel specific detection module (13) configured to, for each pixel of a block of interest of the plurality of blocks, define, as a candidate vector, a motion vector most frequently applied among pixel specific motion vectors already determined in a block adjacent to the block of interest and execute matching processing between the candidate vector and each pixel of the block of interest, thereby detecting a pixel specific motion vector, and a generation module (14) configured to generate an interpolation frame image based on the block specific motion vector and the pixel specific motion vector.
