ABSTRACT:
An image data processing circuit for detection of a motion vector by dividing one frame unit of an image signal into a plurality of blocks, each consisting of a predetermined number of pixel data, and performing a search over all frames of the image signal by a block-matching method, as a block size of a reference block of a current frame of the image signal M.times.N pixels, the number of candidate blocks of the previous frame of the image signal being M.times.N. The processing circuit performs processing for detection of motion vectors able to simultaneously obtain three types of motion vectors: the motion vector at the even number field, the motion vector at the odd number field, and the motion vector at the frame.
