Abstract

An image processing device is provided that is configured to decode an encoded stream to generate quantized data; set, according to a parameter indicating whether to use the same quantization matrix as a reference quantization matrix which is previously used, a current quantization matrix and inversely quantize the quantized data using the current quantization matrix.

Claims (25)

1. An image processing device comprising:

circuitry configured to:

decode an encoded stream to generate quantized data;

set, according to a parameter indicating whether to use the same quantization matrix as a reference quantization matrix which is selected according to a type of the reference quantization matrix that includes a prediction mode and a size of the reference quantization matrix, a current quantization matrix; and

inversely quantize the quantized data using the current quantization matrix.

2. The image processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is configured to, in a case the parameter indicates that the reference quantization matrix is to be used as the current quantization matrix, set the current quantization matrix by using the same values as the values of the reference quantization matrix.

3. The image processing device according to claim 2 , wherein the reference quantization matrix is selected as the current quantization matrix from different reference quantization matrices.

4. The image processing device according to claim 1 , wherein

the type of the reference quantization matrix includes at least one combination of a prediction mode and a color component.

5. The image processing device according to claim 1 , wherein

the circuitry acquires the parameter from a picture parameter set of the encoded stream.

6. The image processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is further configured to separate a video stream and a voice stream from an input stream received by the image processing device.

7. The image processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is further configured to amplify a wireless signal received by the image processing device, apply frequency conversion to the received wireless signal to generate a reception signal, and demodulate the reception signal.

8. The image processing device according to claim 7 , further comprising an antenna that receives a wireless signal.

9. The image processing device according to claim 8 , further comprising a display unit that displays a series of images.

10. An image processing method comprising:

decoding an encoded stream to generate quantized data;

setting, according to a parameter indicating whether to use the same quantization matrix as a reference quantization matrix which is selected according to a type of the reference quantization matrix that includes a prediction mode and a size of the reference quantization matrix, a current quantization matrix; and

inversely quantizing the generated quantized data using the current quantization matrix.

11. The image processing method according to claim 10 , further comprising, in a case the parameter indicates that the reference quantization matrix is to be used as the current quantization matrix, setting the current quantization matrix by using the same values as the values of the reference quantization matrix.

12. The image processing method according to claim 11 , further comprising selecting the reference quantization matrix as the current quantization matrix from different reference quantization matrices.

13. The image processing method according to claim 10 , wherein

the type of the reference quantization matrix includes at least one combination of a prediction mode and a color component.

14. The image processing method according to claim 10 , further comprising acquiring the parameter from a picture parameter set of the encoded stream.

15. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium for storing therein a computer program that includes instructions which when executed on an image processing device causes the image processing device to execute an image processing method comprising: decoding an encoded stream to generate quantized data; setting, according to a parameter indicating whether to use the same quantization matrix as a reference quantization matrix which is selected according to a type of the reference quantization matrix that includes a prediction mode and a size of the reference quantization matrix, a current quantization matrix; and inversely quantizing the generated quantized data using the current quantization matrix.
