ABSTRACT:
A smoothing calculator determines a smoothed mean luminance value C1×μ(t)+(1−C1)μ′(t−1) based on a mean luminance value μ(t) input at time t and a smoothed mean luminance value μ′(t−1) read at time (t−1) from a buffer, and outputs the smoothed mean luminance value C1×μ(t)+(1−C1)μ′(t−1) as the smoothed mean luminance value μ(t) of the mean luminance value μ(t). Coefficient C1 is greater than 0 but smaller than 1. Gradation conversion responsive to luminance variation from frame to frame in a moving image is thus achieved.
