Abstract
A depth value calculation unit () calculates, for an image divided into a plurality of blocks, a depth value (Da, Db) for determining presence or absence of processing of a deblocking filter and determining strength of the deblocking filter according to a division state of respective blocks adjacent to a block boundary (Bv). A filter processing execution determination unit () determines whether or not to cause the deblocking filter to operate on the block boundary (Bv) on the basis of the depth value (Da, Db). A filter strength setting unit () sets the strength of the deblocking filter to operate on the block boundary (Bv) on the basis of the depth value (Da, Db).
