IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE AND IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD

Abstract:

The present technology relates to an image processing device and an image processing method which allow a deblocking filtering process to apply filtering appropriately. A pixel (p0.sub.i) of which the value is 255 (solid line) before a deblocking process changes greatly to 159 (dot line) after a conventional deblocking process. Therefore, a clipping process having a clipping value of 10 is performed in strong filtering, whereby the pixel (p0.sub.i) of which the value is 255 (solid line) before the deblocking process becomes 245 (bold line). THUS, a change in the pixel value occurring in the conventional technique can be suppressed as much as possible. This disclosure can be applied to an image processing device, for example.
