IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE AND IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD.

摘要

Disclosed is an image processing device enabling further parallelization of processing during application of a deblocking filter. The disclosed image processing device is provided with: a decoding unit for decoding an image from an encoding stream; a determination unit for performing determination processing for determining whether to apply a deblocking filter to a neighboring block that neighbors the block boundary of an image decoded by the aforementioned decoding unit; a filtering unit for applying the deblocking filter to the neighboring block to which the aforementioned determination unit determined that the deblocking filter was to be applied; and a control unit which lets the aforementioned determination unit implement the aforementioned determination processing for a vertical block boundary and a horizontal block boundary using as reference pixels the pixels in the aforementioned neighboring block of the reconstructed image.
