Abstract

See full text

An image processing apparatus includes a motion vector detector configured to detect, based on a first image and a second image different from the first image among a plurality of images, motion vectors representing a movement of an object on the second image with respect to an object on the first image; a first calculation unit configured to calculate an acceleration of the object on the image based on the motion vectors; a second calculation unit configured to calculate an object position representing a position of an object on an interpolation image interpolated between the images adjacent in a time direction among the images based on the acceleration, and an interpolation processing unit configured to interpolate the interpolation image on which the object is drawn at the object position.
