Disclosed are an image processing device and method which make it possible to perform quantization or inverse quantization that is more suitable for the contents of images. A reversible decoding unit (202) decodes encryption data that is read out from a storage buffer (201) at a predetermined timing. A sub-macro block inverse quantization unit (221) uses quantization parameters supplied from an inverse quantization unit (203) to obtain a quantization value for each sub-macro block, and returns said quantization values to the inverse quantization unit (203). The inverse quantization unit (203) uses the quantization values for each sub-macro block supplied from the sub-macro block inverse quantization unit (221) to inversely quantize quantization coefficients obtained by decoding performed by the reversible decoding unit (202). This technology can be applied to an image processing device, for example. |
