IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND METHOD THEREOF

摘要

The present technology relates to an image processing apparatus and method capable of preventing an increase in a cost of the apparatus.;A setting unit sets restriction information for restricting a size of a block of an image and a prediction method to be applied to the block having the size. An inter-prediction unit generates a prediction image according to the restriction information. An encoder 1000 encodes the block using the prediction image and generates an encoded stream. Then, the encoder 1000 transmits the encoded stream and the restriction information. The present technology can be applied to a case of encoding/decoding an image, and the like.

1. An image processing apparatus comprising:
a setting unit which sets restriction information for restricting a size of a block of an image and a prediction method to be applied to the block having the size; a prediction unit which generates a prediction image according to the restriction information set by the setting unit; an encoding unit which encodes the image using the prediction image generated by the prediction unit and generates an encoded stream; and a transmission unit which transmits the encoded stream generated by the encoding unit and the restriction information set by the setting unit.
