According to one embodiment, an edge detection module detects edges in a frame of a moving picture signal in accordance with an edge determination reference value. A resolution conversion module converts a resolution of the frame from a first resolution to a second resolution, thereby generating a provisional high-resolution image. A corresponding pixel point detection module detects corresponding pixels in the provisional high-resolution image, which correspond to each of the detected edges. An image quality enhancement process module executes an image quality enhancement process for sharpening for each of the detected corresponding pixels in the provisional high-resolution image. A control module varies the edge determination reference value based on the detected edge number and a maximum edge number at which an information processing apparatus is able to complete the resolution-enhancing process for one frame within a target process time.
