摘要： An image processing apparatus includes a high resolution processing portion for generating a high-resolution image from a first low-resolution image to be a datum frame and M (M is an integer of one or larger) second low-resolution images, the high-resolution image having a higher resolution than the low-resolution images, and a region cutting out portion for setting a first target region in an image region of the first low-resolution image and for setting a second target region in an image region of the second low-resolution image. The high resolution processing portion calculates a pixel value of a region corresponding to the first target region in an image region of the high-resolution image based on pixel values of the first and the second target regions set by the region cutting out portion. The region cutting out portion scans the position of the first target region to be set in the first low-resolution image and sets the second target region at a position corresponding to the position of the first target region after the scan every time when the high resolution processing portion calculates the pixel value of the high-resolution image.

摘要： In an image processing apparatus, the amount of motion between a low-resolution image as a datum image and each of N low-resolution images is detected and, based on the detected amounts of motion, the datum image, and M consulted images (N>M≧1) selected out of the N low-resolution images, a high-resolution image is generated. An image evaluator, which selects the consulted images, takes each of the N low-resolution images as an evaluated image and arranges, based on the amounts of motion, the datum image and the evaluated images in a common coordinate system. Based on a pixel position on the datum image in the common coordinate system, a datum position in the common coordinate system is set. For each evaluated image, the distance from the datum position to a pixel position on that evaluated image is evaluated so that evaluated images corresponding to relatively small distances are selected as consulted images, while evaluated images corresponding to relatively great distances are excluded from the M consulted images.

摘要： An output-image processing portion outputs an output image for display that contains a super-resolution-effect image indicating super-resolution effect—effect obtained when super-resolution processing is applied to an input image. Thus, having checked the output image for display, the user can recognize the degree of super-resolution effect. Accordingly, it is possible to easily judge whether or not the super-resolution processing is required.
