Patent ID: 8922577

Claim:
An image processing apparatus, comprising: a texture information provider to provide texture information of a first frame, using a processor; a frame synthesizer to output a second frame containing the texture information of the first frame, wherein the texture information of the first frame has a value with an enhanced texture component compared to an original texture information included in the first frame; a motion information provider obtains a motion vector of a base area of the second frame, wherein the motion vector of the base area of the second frame indicates that a corresponding area of the first frame is the same as or most similar to the base area of the second frame, and wherein coordinates of the corresponding area of the first frame are different than coordinates of the base area of the second frame; and a texture information matching unit to identify a reference area of the first frame having coordinates that correspond to the coordinates of the base area of the second frame, and to determine a matching area of the second frame, which indicates an area of the second frame where the reference area of the first frame is moved, based on an inverse of the motion vector of the base area of the second frame being applied to the reference area of the first frame, wherein the texture information matching unit performs a texture information matching operation while changing the base area of the second frame, and wherein the texture information matching unit provides matching information using the texture information of the base area of the second frame and texture information of the reference area of the first frame.
