Claim One:
1. An image processing apparatus, comprising: a receiving unit for receiving first video data containing a plurality of frames having a first resolution and second video data containing a plurality of frames having a second resolution higher than the first resolution; a motion prediction unit for detecting a motion vector between the frames contained in the first video data received by the receiving unit; a difference amount calculation unit for calculating a difference amount between a frame of the first video data and a frame of the second video data, wherein the difference amount is a value representing a difference between the frame of the first video data and the frame of the second video data; and an image generation unit for, based on the frame of the second video data and the motion vector detected by the motion prediction unit, generating motion compensated image data having a same resolution as the second video data if the difference amount calculated by the difference amount calculation unit is smaller than a predetermined value, and generating a frame of video data in which the frame of the first video data is magnified to a same spatial resolution and having a same pixel density as the frame of the second video data if the difference amount calculated by the difference amount calculation unit is greater than the predetermined value.
