Abstract:
1. An image processing apparatus comprising: an enlarged-image generation module configured to generate enlarged image information that is enlarged with a predetermined magnification ratio from input image information; a depth characteristic calculator configured to calculate, from the input image information, a depth characteristic amount indicating a change level of depth of field for each a plurality of areas comprised in the input image information; a motion amount calculator configured to calculate a motion amount for each predetermined first block generated between the input image information and former input image information that is previously input before the input image information; a high-frequency component image generation module configured to generate high-frequency component image data, based on an area of the enlarged image information corresponding to the first block, according to the motion amount for the first block calculated by the motion amount calculator; and a generation module configured to compose a high-frequency component associated with the high-frequency component image data generated by the high-frequency component image generation module onto the enlarged image information, based on the depth characteristic amount calculated by the depth characteristic calculator to generate output image information.
