Abstract

The present disclosure relates to an image processing device and method that allow reduction in coding efficiency to be suppressed. A pixel value of a chroma component is predicted by linear prediction from a pixel value of a reference image of a luma component whose pixel location is changed by using a filter, and a prediction image of the chroma component is generated. A chroma component of encoded data in which an image is encoded is decoded by using the generated prediction image. The filter is selected on a basis of information regarding a pixel location of the chroma component and information regarding a color format. The present disclosure is applicable, for example, to an image processing device, an image encoding device, an image decoding device, or the like.
