Abstract
The present technology relates to image processing device and method that achieve a reduction in a buffer size. The image processing device partitions a unit of processing into partitioned processing units each of which corresponds to a VPDU size or is equal to or smaller than the VPDU size, the unit of processing being used for calculation of a cost that is used for determining whether or not to perform bidirectional prediction. The image processing device makes the determination by using the cost calculated based on the partitioned processing units. The present technology is applicable to encoding devices or decoding devices.
Claims8
An image processing device comprising:
- a control unit configured to partition a unit of processing into partitioned processing units each of which corresponds to a VPDU size or is equal to or smaller than the VPDU size, the unit of processing being used for calculation of a cost that is used for determining whether or not to perform bidirectional prediction;
- and
- a determination unit configured to make the determination by using the cost calculated based on the partitioned processing units.
An image processing method for causing an image processing device to:
- partition a unit of processing into partitioned processing units each of which corresponds to a VPDU size or is equal to or smaller than the VPDU size, the unit of processing being used for calculation of a cost that is used for determining whether or not to perform bidirectional prediction;
- and
- make the determination by using the cost calculated based on the partitioned processing units.
