Patent number: 8274604Abstract: A image display unit is allowed to reproduce display characteristics substantially equivalent to that obtained with use of a cinema projector, when performing a image display based on a film image signal or an equivalent. The image display unit including: an image insertion section inserting an interpolation frame image into an input video signal as the film image signal or the equivalent; and a display section performing image display based on a video signal where the interpolation frame image is inserted. The image insertion section generates an optimized image as the interpolation frame image in which the insertion time period and the signal level are optimized based on display characteristics to be achieved in a projected image projected with the cinema film by a cinema projector, thereby to insert the optimized image into the input video signal at a position corresponding to a gap between frames of the cinema film.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2009Date of Patent: September 25, 2012Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Takayuki Ohe, Soichiro Niho

Publication number: 20100053428Abstract: The present invention relates to an image processing apparatus and an image processing method, a program, and an image display apparatus that are configured, when a predetermined image signal is superposed on an image signal before interpolation, to enhance the quality of an image signal after interpolation. A MPU 31 accepts a command for starting or ending superposition of a predetermined image signal onto an input image signal. If the command for starting or ending superposition is accepted, a interpolation processing block 72 detects a motion vector of an input image signal with superposition of a predetermined image signal started or ended and interpolates and outputs an interpolation signal on the basis of the motion vector regardless of a total reliability of the motion vector. The present invention is applicable to television receivers, for example.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 19, 2008Publication date: March 4, 2010Inventors: Takayuki Ohe, Masato Usuki, Minoru Urushihara, Kenkichi Kobayashi, Koji Moriya
