Abstract: A low frequency component image L[i] and high frequency component-emphasized image SH[i] are generated from an image A[i]. Lossy compression processing is performed for the low frequency component image L[i] to generate a compressed image C[i] and store it in a memory. A compressed image C[i?1] is decoded to generate a decoded image L?[i?1]. The compressed image C[i] is decoded to generate a decoded image L?[i]. A difference image E[i] between the decoded image L?[i] and the low frequency component image L[i] is generated. The low frequency component image L[i], decoded image L?[i?1], and difference image E[i] are composited at a predetermined ratio to generate a composite image SL[i]. The high frequency component-emphasized image SH[i] and composite image SL[i] are output as subframe images of the i-th frame.

Abstract: Each frame image is acquired as an input image. An image obtained by emphasizing high frequency components in the input image is generated as a high frequency component emphasized image, a composite image is generated by compositing the input image and an input image of a previous frame before the input image, and an image including low frequency components in the composite image is generated as a low frequency component image. Then, the high frequency component emphasized image and low frequency component image are alternately output as images of sub-frames of the input image.
