<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To decrease blocking artifacts in motion-compensated video coding. <P>SOLUTION: In an image coding apparatus and image decoding apparatus, whether motion vectors pointing the same base images, among blocks adjacent to a boundary are identical to each other or are similar to each other is evaluated, and based on the evaluation, whether to apply filtering on the boundary is determined. When the motion vectors are different from each other or are not similar to one another among the blocks adjacent to the boundary, filtering is applied to the boundary. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT |
