Abstract:
1. An image processing apparatus, comprising: a frame rate conversion processor that generates an interpolated frame image which interpolates an input frame image constituting an input video, and outputs the input frame image and the interpolated frame image alternately; and a high dynamic range (HDR) processor that performs processing to increase the brightness of the input frame image which is output from the frame rate conversion processor by converting gradation in use of a lookup table for enhancing gradation in a low brightness area, and performs processing to decrease the brightness of the interpolated frame image which is output from the frame rate conversion processor by converting gradation in use of a lookup table for enhancing gradation in a high brightness area, wherein the low brightness area is an area of an image having a lower than or equal to a first predetermined brightness value and the high brightness area is an area of an image having a higher than or equal to a second predetermined brightness value.
