Claim One:
1. An image processing apparatus comprising: a local motion vector calculation section that sets blocks, which are divided regions of a frame image, with spacings interposed therebetween in the frame image, and calculates a motion vector, which corresponds to each set block, as a local motion vector (LMV); a block weight calculation section that calculates a block weight as a reliability indicator of the local motion vector (LMV) which corresponds to each block; and a global motion vector calculation section that inputs the local motion vectors (LMV) and the block weights, and calculates a global motion vector (GMV) which is a common motion vector to the plurality of blocks included in the frame image, wherein the block weight calculation section calculates a degree of reliability of the local motion vector (LMV) corresponding to each block of a target block and near-field blocks adjacent to the target block, and a degree of similarity between the local motion vectors (LMV) of the target block and each near-field block, and calculates the block weight through arithmetic processing to which the degree of reliability and the degree of similarity are applied.
