Abstract: According to one embodiment, an image processing apparatus includes a level storage module, an instruction receiving module, a switching module, and a resolution increasing module. The level storage module stores a super-resolution level in association with a video mode that indicates definition to display a video signal. The super-resolution level indicates intensity of super-resolution conversion, in which from a video signal having first resolution, a video signal is obtained that has second resolution higher than the first resolution. The instruction receiving module receives an instruction specifying a video mode. The switching module switches a video mode to the specified video mode. The resolution increasing module performs the super-resolution conversion at a super-resolution level corresponding to the specified video mode.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, an image processing apparatus includes a level storage module, a video determination module, and a resolution increasing module. The level storage module stores a super-resolution level in association with a video mode. The super-resolution level indicates intensity of super resolution conversion, in which from a first video signal having first resolution, a second video signal is obtained that has second resolution higher than the first resolution and that is to be displayed in the video mode. The video determination module identifies a video mode and determines a super-resolution level based on the video mode identified. The resolution increasing module performs the super resolution conversion on the first video signal at the super-resolution level determined by the video determination module.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, an image processor comprises an image converter and a controller. The image converter is configured to convert a first video signal of a first resolution to a second video signal of a second resolution higher than the first resolution. The conversion is based on a parameter indicating a ratio of high-frequency component pixels of the first video signal to be interpolated and pixels forming the first video signal to be interpolated. The controller is configured to change the parameter based on a type of broadcast wave of the first video signal. The type of broadcast wave may include, but is not limited or restricted to satellite broadcasting or terrestrial broadcasting.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a video display device includes a super resolution converter, a moving-image improving module, and a demonstration mode controller. The super resolution converter performs, on receipt of a first video signal with first resolution, super resolution conversion on the first video signal to obtain a second video signal with second resolution that is higher than the first resolution. The moving-image improving module performs moving-image improvement on the second video signal to double the frames of video per second. The demonstration mode controller controls activation of first demonstration mode for displaying, on a display module, demonstration related to the super resolution conversion and second demonstration mode for displaying demonstration related to the moving-image improvement.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, an image processor has a resolution increase module, a detector, and a controller. The resolution increase module is configured to perform super-resolution processing so as to restore a first video signal to a second video signal having a second resolution higher than the first resolution. The detector is configured to detect at least one of an information amount of the first image signal, a noise amount of the first image signal, and a type of a terminal to which the first video signal is input. The controller is configured to change a degree of a super-resolution processing performed by the resolution increase module based on a detection. result of the detector.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, an image processing apparatus includes a super-resolution converter and a controller. The super-resolution converter performs, on receipt of a video signal with first resolution, super resolution conversion on the video signal to increase the first resolution to second resolution by estimating an original pixel value from the video signal and increasing pixels. The controller controls the super-resolution converter not to perform the super resolution conversion depending on the type of the video signal.

Abstract: A liquid crystal receiving apparatus (1) according to the invention doubles the number of frames by doubling a vertical scanning frequency set for a received video signal (12), and adjusts a gain for each of frames added by the doubling (14). A moving image blur is prevented by reducing the gain, and a flicker is prevented by increasing the gain. The gain is adjusted automatically or through a manipulation made by a user in accordance with contents of an image to be displayed.

When an analog video signal is inputted, the analog video signal is digitized to perform the first scaling process, and the OSD signal to which a second scaling process is performed is added to the digitized video signal. The second scaling process is lower than the first scaling process in quality.
