Patent ID: 8643785

Claim:
A video processing apparatus which determines whether video data of a predetermined resolution is a pseudo-resolution video data generated from a video data of resolution lower than the predetermined resolution, the video processing apparatus comprising: a receiving unit configured to receive a plurality of video data which are identical in contents and different from one another in resolution, the plurality of video data including a video data of a first resolution and a video data of a second resolution which is lower than the first resolution; a first generation unit configured to generate a first special frequency histogram relating to the video data of the first resolution; a second generation unit configured to generate a second special frequency histogram relating to the video data of the second resolution; a determination unit configured to determine whether the video data of the first resolution is the pseudo-resolution video data or an original-resolution video data based on the first special frequency histogram and the second special frequency histogram; a selecting unit configured to select the video data of the first resolution for outputting to a display unit in a case where the video data of the first resolution is determined to be the original-resolution video data and select the video data of the second resolution or a video data of a resolution lower than the second resolution for outputting to the display unit in a case where the video data of the first resolution is determined to be the pseudo-resolution video data; and a resolution processing unit configured to execute resolution conversion processing for the video data that is selected by the selecting unit based on a resolution of the selected video data and a resolution of the display unit.
