Abstract

According to one embodiment, an apparatus includes a motion estimation unit, a generating unit, a detection unit, and a filtering unit. The motion estimation unit is configured to estimate a first motion vector from a first reference frame to a second reference frame. The generating unit is configured to assign a first pixel value and a second motion vector to an interpolation frame. The detection unit is configured to detect an occlusion region in the interpolation frame. The filtering unit is configured to assign the second motion vector to the occlusion region as a third motion vector, calculate degrees of difference between second pixel values derived from the second motion vectors and third pixel values derived from the third motion vectors, and assign a fourth pixel value derived from a fourth motion vector to the occlusion region, wherein the fourth motion vector is calculated based on the degrees of difference.
