Image Processing Method and Apparatus

An image processing apparatus, wherein each largest coding unit comprises at least two areas, the apparatus comprising:

• a receiving unit configured to receive a first largest coding unit of an image, wherein the first largest coding unit is a currently received largest coding unit;
• a determining unit configured to determine a compensation parameter of the first largest coding unit;
• and
• a compensation unit configured to perform pixel compensation on at least one area of the first largest coding unit according to the compensation parameter of the first largest coding unit,
• wherein the compensation unit is further configured to perform pixel compensation on at least one area, on which pixel compensation is not performed, of a second largest coding unit according to a compensation parameter of the second largest coding unit, wherein the second largest coding unit is a previously received largest coding unit adjacent to the first largest coding unit.
