Abstract

An image processing device including an acquiring section configured to acquire quantization matrix parameters from an encoded stream in which the quantization matrix parameters defining a quantization matrix are set within a parameter set which is different from a sequence parameter set and a picture parameter set, a setting section configured to set, based on the quantization matrix parameters acquired by the acquiring section, a quantization matrix which is used when inversely quantizing data decoded from the encoded stream, and an inverse quantization section configured to inversely quantize the data decoded from the encoded stream using the quantization matrix set by the setting section.

Claims (19)

1. An image processing device comprising:

circuitry configured to:

generate a parameter indicating whether or not to reuse, as a first previously generated quantization matrix corresponding to a first identification information, the same quantization matrix as a second quantization matrix corresponding to a second identification information according to a combination of a prediction mode and a color component;

provided that the generated parameter indicates to reuse, as the first previously generated quantization matrix, the same quantization matrix as the second quantization matrix corresponding to the second identification information, quantize image data using the first previously generated quantization matrix as a current quantization matrix to generate quantized data; and

encode the quantized data to generate an encoded stream including the parameter.

2. The image processing device according to claim 1 , the combination of the prediction mode and the color component comprises combinations of:

an intra prediction and a luminance component (Y), an intra prediction and a first chrominance component (Cb), an intra prediction and a second chrominance component (Cr), an inter prediction and a luminance component (Y), an inter prediction and a first chrominance component (Cb), and an inter prediction and a second chrominance component (Cr).

3. The image processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the parameter is included in a picture parameter set of the encoded stream.

4. An image processing method comprising:

generating a parameter indicating whether or not to reuse, as a first previously generated quantization matrix corresponding to a first identification information, the same quantization matrix as a second quantization matrix corresponding to a second identification information according to a combination of a prediction mode and a color component;

provided that the generated parameter indicates to reuse, as the first previously generated quantization matrix, the same quantization matrix as the second quantization matrix corresponding to the second identification information, quantizing image data using the first previously generated quantization matrix as a current quantization matrix to generate quantized data; and

encoding the quantized data to generate an encoded stream including the parameter.

5. The image processing method according to claim 4 , the combination of the prediction mode and the color component comprises combinations of:

an intra prediction and a luminance component (Y), an intra prediction and a first chrominance component (Cb), an intra prediction and a second chrominance component (Cr), an inter prediction and a luminance component (Y), an inter prediction and a first chrominance component (Cb), and an inter prediction and a second chrominance component (Cr).

6. The image processing method according to claim 4 , wherein the parameter is included in a picture parameter set of the encoded stream.

7. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing computer-readable instructions thereon, which, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform an image processing method comprising:

generating a parameter indicating whether or not to reuse, as a first previously generated quantization matrix corresponding to a first identification information, the same quantization matrix as a second quantization matrix corresponding to a second identification information according to a combination of a prediction mode and a color component;

provided that the generated parameter indicates to reuse, as the first previously generated quantization matrix, the same quantization matrix as the second quantization matrix corresponding to the second identification information, quantizing image data using the first previously generated quantization matrix as a current quantization matrix to generate quantized data; and

encoding the quantized data to generate an encoded stream including the parameter.
