To reduce the number of calculations and prevent an error from being detected due to a phase deviation when detecting a motion vector corresponding to the block matching method. A representative pixel value x of a base block composed of (3 x 3) pixels is detected by a representative value extracting circuit 7. A maximum value and a minimum value of a verification block that has the same size as the base block are detected by a MAX/MIN detecting circuit 8. A comparing circuit 9 compares and determines whether or not the representative pixel value x is in the range from the MAX to the MIN. An evaluated value calculating circuit 10 calculates an evaluated value DELTA corresponding to the compared result. When x is included in the range from the MAX to the MIN, DELTA is 0. An evaluated value is calculated in the vicinity of the position corresponding to the representative pixel of the reference frame. Corresponding to the evaluated value, a motion vector is detected. <IMAGE> |
