Patent ID: 8548272

Claim:
An image signal processing apparatus comprising: an image signal obtaining section configured to obtain an image signal to be processed; a classification information obtaining section configured to obtain classification information indicating the image signal as one of a plurality of image signal types, the plurality of image signal types including: a first type comprising a plurality of frames extracted from a still image, the frames being extracted by moving an extracting area in units of an integer pixel per frame over the still image, extracting the frames corresponding to the extraction area, and outputting an image signal corresponding to the frames; a second type of image signal indicating an image signal generated by performing image magnification or reduction processing on a still image to derive image data which has been scaled from the still image, the third type of image signal indicating a motion image signal captured as a video signal, and the forth type of image signal indicating a still image signal; and an image signal processing section configured to process the image signal based on the classification information; wherein the image signal is processed using a wider frequency band when the image signal is the first type of image signal or fourth type of image signal, or processed using a narrower frequency band when the image signal is the second type of image signal, or the third type of image signal.
