Abstract

According to one embodiment, a video processing apparatus includes a first conversion module configured to execute up-conversion processing on a section of video data, a display module configure to enlarge a moving image of the section of the video data subjected to the up-conversion processing by the first conversion module so as to display a partial area of the image, and a second conversion module configure to execute the up-conversion processing on the entire video data by up-conversion processing corresponding to a selected moving image of the moving images displayed by the display module.

Claims (16)

1. A video processing apparatus comprising:

a first convertor configured to up-convert a segment of video data;

a display configured to enlarge an image of the segment of the video data after the up-conversion by the first convertor and to display a partial area of the image; and

a second convertor configured to up-convert the entire video data by the up-conversion related to a selected image of the images displayed by the display.

2. The video processing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the display is configured to display an image of original video data before the up-conversion and an image of the video data after the up-conversion by the first convertor such that the images are compared with each other.

3. The video processing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first convertor and the second convertor are configured to execute two or more up-conversions, and

the display is configured to display images of the video data after the two or more up-conversions such that the images are compared with each other.

4. The video processing apparatus of claim 3 , further comprising a segment selector configured to select a partial segment to be up-converted,

wherein the display is configured to display an image obtained by playing the video data in the partial segment selected by the segment selector.

5. The video processing apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the segment selector is configured to select the partial segment by referring to a feature corresponding to the size of a motion of the video data in the video.

6. The video processing apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the feature is a motion vector.

7. The video processing apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the display is configured to display plural images obtained by playing the video data in the partial segment selected by the segment selector such that the plural images are compared with each other, and the playback of the plural images are synchronized.

8. The video processing apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the display is configured to display plural images obtained by playing the video data in the partial segment selected by the section selector such that the plural image are compared with each other, using the same enlargement method in displaying the plural moving images.

9. The video processing apparatus of claim 3 , further comprising an area selector configured to select the partial area displayed by the display,

wherein the display is configured to display an image of the selected partial area.

10. The video processing apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the area selector is configured to select the partial area by referring to a feature corresponding to a spatial frequency in the video data.
