Aspects of the present disclosure provide an image processing device that includes circuitry configured to perform a decoding process on an encoded stream for generating an image. The encoded stream is arranged into largest coding units (LCUs), and filtering parameters applicable to each LCU are provided at a beginning portion of the corresponding LCU.

The present invention relates to an image processing device and method that enable generation of a highly precise prediction image using a small amount of control information. A motion compensation circuit specifies a macroblock corresponding to a prediction image in part of reference frames using a motion vector supplied from a prediction mode determination circuit, reads an image thereof from a frame memory, and extracts it as a motion compensation image. A motion prediction circuit reads, from a frame memory, at least one or more of the remaining reference frames, performs motion prediction of the motion compensation image supplied from the motion compensation circuit in each frame, reads an image of a macroblock that matches or is similar to the motion compensation image from the frame memory, and extracts it as a motion compensation image.
