Abstract
Provided is an image processing apparatus which includes a setting unit assigning a control block, which is a control unit of a filter process that is locally performed with respect to an image, to an initial position of the image determined based on a predetermined reference point; a movement unit moving the control block, which has been assigned to the initial position of the image by the setting unit, up to a position in which the result of the filter process is improved; and a filter processing unit performing the filter process for the respective control blocks which has been moved by the movement unit.
Claims4
An image decoding apparatus, comprising:
- circuitry configured to
- receive encoded data generated by encoding image data including a plurality of blocks, and acquire from the encoded data image data block control data that determines whether an adaptive filter process is performed by the circuitry to each of the plurality of blocks that are included in a slice to be processed, and
- decode the encoded data previously received by to generate image data;
- and
- an adaptive filter that performs an adaptive filter process on the image data generated based on the acquired image block control data.
An image decoding method, comprising:
- receiving encoded data generated by encoding image data including a plurality of blocks, and acquire from the encoded data image data block control data that determines whether an adaptive filter process is performed by the circuitry to each of the plurality of blocks that are included in a slice to be processed;
- decoding the encoded data previously received by to generate image data;
- and
- performing an adaptive filter process on the image data generated based on the acquired image block control data.
A television receiver, comprising:
- circuitry configured to
- receive encoded data generated by encoding image data including a plurality of blocks, and acquire from the encoded data image data block control data that determines whether an adaptive filter process is performed by the circuitry to each of the plurality of blocks that are included in a slice to be processed, and
- decode the encoded data previously received by to generate image data;
- and
- an adaptive filter that performs an adaptive filter process on the image data generated based on the acquired image block control data.
A portable phone, characterized in comprising:
- circuitry configured to
