Abstract:
1. An image processor apparatus performing a super-resolution process of converting an input image with a first resolution to an output image with a second resolution higher than the first resolution with respect to a plurality of input images which are consecutive in time, comprising: prediction means for predicting the output image with the second resolution of a time being processed using the input image of the time being processed and the output image obtained by performing the super-resolution process on an input image of a time earlier than the time being processed; generation means for generating a reduced image with the first resolution composed of pixels at different phases of the prediction image, the phases being different from time to time, using a prediction image obtained by the prediction of the prediction means; difference calculation means for calculating a difference between the input image of the time being processed and the reduced image; and addition means for adding the difference which is up-sampled to the second resolution to the prediction image, thus generating the output image with the second resolution of the time being processed.
