IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND METHOD

Abstract:

The present disclosure relates to an image processing apparatus and a method capable of reducing a decrease in a degree of parallelism of coding and decoding. Coefficient data associated with an image is coded in parallel for each line of transform blocks each of which is a unit of transforming image data into coefficient data. Moreover, coded data obtained by coding coefficient data associated with an image is decoded in parallel for each line of transform blocks each of which is a unit of transforming image data into coefficient data. The present disclosure is applicable to an image processing apparatus, an image coding apparatus, or an image decoding apparatus, for example.
