A method of generating an interpolation image includes dividing a first
image into first blocks, searching the second image for a second block
having a strong correlation, deriving a first motion vector between the
first and second blocks, extracting from the first block a first sub
block including pixels that an absolute difference value is less than a
threshold and a second sub block including pixels that it is not less
than the threshold, searching a region on the second image for a third
sub block having a strong correlation with respect to the second sub
block, deriving a second motion vector between the second and third sub
blocks, and copying the first and second sub blocks onto a third image
between the first and second frames, using the first and second motion
vectors.
