Abstract:
1. An information processor that divides input image data for a plurality of other information processors, the other information processors performing a super resolution process on the divided input image creating results, the super resolution process generating a high resolution image based on a plurality of low resolution input images, the information processor comprising: an image analyzer that analyzes a characteristic of input image data of a sequence of image frames; a division point determining unit that determines, based on a result of analysis by the image analyzer, a criterion to determine a division point for the input image data among a plurality of criteria, including a scene change point, a group of pictures boundary, corresponding points, or a global motion vector, corresponding to a plurality of characteristics of the input image data, and that determines the division point based on the determined criterion; a division processor that divides, for each of the other information processors, the input image data at the division point, and allocates each divided input image to each corresponding one of the other information processors; and a combination processor that combines the results of the super resolution process performed by the each of the other information processors, and outputs a result of the combination.
