According to one embodiment, an image processing apparatus includes a resolution increasing module and a moving-image improving module. The resolution increasing module that performs, on receipt of a first video signal with first resolution, super resolution conversion on the first video signal to obtain a second video signal with second resolution that is higher than the first resolution by estimating an original pixel value from the first video signal and increasing the pixels. The moving-image improving module that increases the frame rate of the second video signal after the super resolution conversion.
