IMAGE PROCESSOR AND IMAGE DISPLAY APPARATUS PROVIDED WITH SUCH IMAGE PROCESSOR

The image processor ( 101 ) for motion compensated image processing comprises a motion compensation unit ( 106 ) for calculating an output image based on a particular motion vector field and based on a first input image and a second input image. The particular motion vector field can be calculated by a motion estimator ( 104 ) which is part of the image processor ( 101 ) or by an external unit ( 108 ). The image processor ( 101 ) is designed to select from which source, i.e. the motion estimator ( 104 ) or the external unit ( 108 ), the particular motion vector field is taken to calculate the output image. The external source is designed to calculate the particular motion vector field based on a motion vector field which was provided by the motion estimator ( 104 ) of the image processor ( 101 ).
