Abstract
The present technology relates to an image processing apparatus, an image processing method, and a program, in which a filter process on a decoded image is performed in parallel in a processing unit regardless of a parallel encoding processing unit. An addition unit decodes encoding data and generates an image. A deblocking filter, an adaptive offset filter, and an adaptive loop filter perform the filter process in a parallel processing unit regardless of a slice in parallel on the image generated by the addition unit. The present technology, for example, can be applied to an encoding apparatus and a decoding apparatus.
Claims15
An image processing apparatus comprising:
- a decoding unit configured to decode encoding data and generate an image;
- and
- a filter processing unit configured to perform a filter process in a processing unit regardless of a slice in parallel on the image generated by the decoding unit, wherein
- the filter processing unit includes
- a storage unit configured to store a pixel value of a pixel in a boundary of the processing unit of the image, and
- a processor configured to perform an adaptive offset filter process in the processing unit in parallel on the image using the pixel value stored by the storage unit.
(canceled)
An image processing method of causing an image processing apparatus to perform:
- a decoding step of decoding encoding data and generating an image;
- and
- a filter process step of performing a filter process in a processing unit regardless of a slice in parallel on the image generated in the decoding step, wherein
- in the filter process step, an adaptive offset filter process is performed in the processing unit in parallel on the image using the pixel value stored in a storage unit configured to store a pixel value of a pixel in a boundary of the processing unit of the image.
A program to cause a computer to operate as an image processing apparatus, the program comprising:
- a decoding unit configured to decode encoding data and generate an image;
- and
- a filter processing unit configured to perform a filter process in a processing unit regardless of a slice in parallel on the image generated by the decoding unit, wherein
- the filter processing unit performs an adaptive offset filter process in the processing unit in parallel on the image using a pixel value stored in a storage unit configured to store the pixel value of a pixel in a boundary of the processing unit of the image.
An image processing apparatus comprising:
- a decoding unit configured to decode encoding data and generate an image;
- and
- a filter processing unit configured to perform a filter process in a processing unit regardless of a tile in parallel on the image generated by the decoding unit.
