Patent ID: 8744218

Claim:
An image processing device comprising: an image acquisition unit that obtains: first video data that includes a plurality of frames; and second video data that includes a plurality of frames, the frames of the second video data having a resolution higher than the frames of the first video data; a super resolution processing unit that performs super resolution processing on the frames of the first video data to generate super resolution images; a motion prediction unit that detects a motion vector between the super resolution images; an image generation unit that, based on the second video data and on the motion vector, generates motion-compensated image data that corresponds to the frames of the first video data; an image compressing/expanding unit that compresses the first and second video data; and first and second memory units that record the compressed first and second video data, respectively, wherein: the first video data, having low spatial resolution and high temporal resolution, is recorded into the first memory unit; and the second video data which corresponds to the frames included in the first video data, having higher spatial resolution and lower temporal resolution than the first video data, is recorded into the second memory unit.
