ABSTRACT:
An image processing apparatus includes a first motion detector, a second motion detector and a conversion selector. The first motion detector detects motion to a first level of spatial frequency sensitivity. The second motion detector detects motion to a second level of spatial frequency sensitivity greater than the first level of spatial frequency sensitivity to detect smaller amounts of motion than the first motion detector. The conversion selector selects contributions from at least one of a first conversion process and a second conversion process for a given point in an image dependant upon whether motion is detected by the first motion detector at the given point or not. The conversion selector operates independently of the second motion detector if a degree of motion within the image or a part thereof including the given point detected by the first motion detector does not exceed a threshold amount.
