Patent ID: 8780216

Claim:
An image processing system comprising: a pickup apparatus configured to capture an image per scanning line and to generate an input video signal from the captured image; a motion vector generator configured to generate a first horizontal direction motion vector and a first vertical direction motion vector indicative of a horizontal direction moving distance and a vertical direction moving distance respectively between frames in the input video signal; a motion vector converter configured to convert the first horizontal direction motion vector and the first vertical direction motion vector to a second horizontal direction motion vector and a second vertical direction motion vector respectively taking the first vertical direction motion vector into consideration, the second horizontal direction motion vector and the second vertical direction motion vector being indicative of a horizontal direction moving distance and a vertical direction moving distance respectively per a time for capturing one frame; a motion vector interpolator configured to generate a third horizontal direction motion vector and a third vertical direction motion vector indicative of a horizontal direction moving distance and a vertical direction moving distance per a time for capturing one frame for each scanning line by performing interpolation using the second horizontal direction motion vector and the second vertical direction motion vector on at least two frames; a correction amount generator configured to generate a horizontal direction correction amount and a vertical direction correction amount for each scanning line based on the third horizontal direction motion vector and the third vertical direction motion vector; and a correcting module configured to correct the input video signal to produce an output video signal based on the horizontal direction correction amount and the vertical direction correction amount.
