<p>In a motion vector detection apparatus, a reference frame block from a memory (20) is supplied to a feature extraction circuit (21A) and a search frame block from another memory (30) is supplied to another feature extraction circuit (31A). Within the extraction circuits (21A, 31A), the frame blocks are divided into minor blocks and integration of all pixels for each minor block gives a matching element. A matching process employing the matching elements from the extraction circuits (21A, 31A) provides a frame motion vector. Data division circuits (24, 34) divide the matching elements provided from the extraction circuits (21A, 31A) into odd- and even-field matching elements, and the matching process with the odd- and even-field matching elements provides odd- and even-field motion vectors. This eliminates the need for a feature extraction circuit when obtaining field matching elements. &lt;MATH&gt;</p> |
