IMAGE DECODING DEVICE, IMAGE DECODING METHOD, IMAGE ENCODING DEVICE, AND IMAGE ENCODING METHOD

摘要

When carrying out an intra-frame prediction process to generate an intra prediction image by using an already-encoded image signal in a frame, an intra prediction part 4 selects a filter from one or more filters which are prepared in advance according to the states of various parameters associated with the encoding of a target block to be filtered, and carries out a filtering process on a prediction image by using the filter. As a result, prediction errors which occur locally can be reduced, and the image quality can be improved.
