Abstract
This disclosure relates to an image processing device and method for reducing the load of image encoding, and a program. This technique involves: a filter control unit that controls an adaptive filtering operation to be performed on image data, in accordance with whether the image data is to be referred to by other image data; and a filtering operation unit that performs the adaptive filtering operation on the image data under the control of the filter control unit in a motion compensation loop. This technique can be applied to an image processing device, for example.
Claims14
An image processing device comprising:
- a filter control unit configured to control an adaptive filtering operation to be performed on image data, in accordance with whether the image data is to be referred to by other image data;
- and
- a filtering operation unit configured to perform the adaptive filtering operation on the image data under the control of the filter control unit in a motion compensation loop.
An image processing method comprising:
- controlling an adaptive filtering operation to be performed on image data, in accordance with whether the image data is to be referred to by other image data, the control being performed by a filter control unit of an image processing device;
- and
- performing the adaptive filtering operation on the image data in a motion compensation loop, the adaptive filtering operation being performed by a filtering operation unit of the image processing device.
