Abstract:
1. An image processing apparatus for generating frame data applicable to frame reproduction of differing frame rates, said apparatus comprising: a frame conversion unit configured to generate low frame rate frame data by averaging a plurality of temporally continuous frames having high frame rate frame data and obtained at a high frame rate to generate a low frame rate frame, wherein the low frame rate frame data has a same spatial resolution as the high frame rate frame data; and a frame selection unit configured to perform a decimation process in which frame data that can be restored or regenerated using said low frame rate frame data is decimated from said high frame rate frame data, wherein data of a plurality of layers is set to be said frame data applicable to said frame reproduction of differing frame rates with said low frame rate frame data as lower layer data and data of said high frame rate frame data after decimation as higher layer data.
