Image processing device and method

An image encoding device comprising:

• circuitry configured to
• obtain a position of an image block based on a block size of the image block,
• perform a filtering process on the image block of the position,
• generate a filter block data for controlling whether or not the filtering process is performed on the image block,
• generate boundary control data for controlling whether or not the filtering process uses a pixel in a next slice after a slice including the image block, and
• generate block size information of the image block.

An image encoding method, comprising:

• obtaining a position of an image block based on a block size of the image block;
• performing a filtering process on the image block of the position;
• generating a filter block data for controlling whether or not the filtering process is performed on the image block;
• generating boundary control data for controlling whether or not the filtering process uses a pixel in a next slice after a slice including the image block;
• and
• generating block size information of the image block.

A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon a program that when executed by a computer causes the computer to execute image encoding method comprising:

• obtaining a position of an image block based on a block size of the image block,
• performing a filtering process on the image block of the position, and
• generating a filter block data for controlling whether or not the filtering process is performed on the image block,
• generating boundary control data for controlling whether or not the filtering process uses a pixel in a next slice after a slice including the image block, and
• generating block size information of the image block.
