Abstract

Provided is an image processing device including a selection section configured to select, from a plurality of transform units with different sizes, a transform unit used for inverse orthogonal transformation of image data to be decoded, a generation section configured to generate, from a first quantization matrix corresponding to a transform unit for a first size, a second quantization matrix corresponding to a transform unit for a second size from a first quantization matrix corresponding to a transform unit for a first size, and an inverse quantization section configured to inversely quantize transform coefficient data for the image data using the second quantization matrix generated by the generation section when the selection section selects the transform unit for the second size.

Claims (22)

1. An image processing device comprising:

circuitry configured to:

generate, from an 8×8 quantization matrix, a 16×16 quantization matrix corresponding to a 16×16 transform unit; and

inversely quantize quantized transform coefficient data for image data using the 16×16 quantization matrix when the 16×16 transform unit is used for inverse orthogonal transformation,

wherein the circuitry is configured to generate the 16×16 quantization matrix by duplicating one of a first element and a second element adjacent to each other in the 8×8 quantization matrix as an element between the first element and the second element in the 16×16 quantization matrix.

2. The image processing device according to claim 1 , the circuitry is configured to decode encoded data of the image data to generate the quantized transform coefficient data.

3. The image processing device according to claim 2 , wherein the circuitry is configured to:

decode the encoded data per a coding unit, and

inversely quantize the quantized transform coefficient data per a transform unit formed by recursively splitting the coding unit into smaller coding units.

4. The image processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is configured to reproduce the video data.

5. The image processing device according to claim 4 , wherein the circuitry is configured to separate a video stream and an audio stream of an input stream.

6. The image processing device according to claim 5 , wherein the circuitry is configured to operate the image processing device.

7. The image processing device according to claim 6 , wherein the circuitry is configured to extract a signal from broadcast signals and demodulate the signal.

8. An image processing method comprising:

generating, by circuitry of an image processing device and from an 8×8 quantization matrix, a 16×16 quantization matrix corresponding to a 16×16 transform unit; and

inversely quantizing, by the circuitry, quantized transform coefficient data for image data using the 16×16 quantization matrix generated from the 8×8 quantization matrix when the 16×16 transform unit is used to perform inverse orthogonal transformation,

wherein the 16×16 quantization matrix is generated by duplicating one of a first element and a second element adjacent to each other in the 8×8 quantization matrix as an element between the first element and the second element in the 16×16 quantization matrix.

9. The image processing method according to claim 8 , further comprising:

decoding encoded data of the image data to generate the quantized transform coefficient data.

10. The image processing method according to claim 9 , wherein

the encoded data is decoded per a coding unit, and

the quantized transform coefficient data is inversely quantized per a transform unit formed by recursively splitting the coding unit into smaller coding units.
