Image processing device, and image processing method

Abstract

When a motion prediction/compensation unit 32 generates predicted image data by performing motion compensation using reference image data based on a motion vector detected through motion detection, a compensation control unit 3231 switches a filter coefficient supplied from a coefficient table 3232 to a filter unit 3233 according to a loop filter process on the reference image data used to generate the predicted image data. For example, when the loop filter process is not performed, a filter process is performed on the reference image data with filter characteristics in which noise removal strength is high. Therefore, since the predicted image data with small noise can be generated, and deterioration in the quality of a predicted image is reduced, and thus deterioration in compression efficiency can be suppressed.
